Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Helen, I was saddened so to learn of Jack’s passing today. I will always remember him by his firm handshake and abundant laughter anytime I saw him, whether at a KM Group meeting or the old ARA show in Louisville. He was one of the ‘good ‘ol boys’. Tammy and I extend our deepest sympathies to your and your family. Our prayer’s, along with many others I’m sure, will walk beside you during this time.
Helen and children, I was so shocked to hear of Jack’s passing. My heart is heavy. He gave TRUE meaning to the term ‘Good old boy! My husband, Rex and daughter, Lane used to team penn with Jack. I used to walk up and down Hydraulic all the time and Jack would always at least honk and wave, but usually would stop and chat. Your dad/huband was one of a kind and will be sorely missed. Helen, call if you ever need anything or just want some company. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I know that Jack is upstairs smiling down on all of us.
We will miss Jack at church. He was a very pillar of Kechi UMC and the Men’s Group. He also was very active in the Women’s Group. He always had a firm handshake and a wide smile to greet us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Helen and family during this difficult time.
I was very saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. Perrin. The Perrin family were neighbors of ours growing up on Athenian Street in Wichita. Mr. Perrin was a very good person, a good man who I was able to learn from. He was a positive role model. He viewed the world in a positive way and saw the good in almost every situation. By watching him, I learned many lessons. The greatest of these was that hard work and persistence always pays off. Thank you Mr. Perrin for providing a young man someone to look up to. My heartfelt prayers go out to the Perrin family. May the peace of the Lord be with each of you as you celebrate the life of your father. Bless you all.
I am sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Jack Perrin. I never had the opportunity to meet him but work with Dave at The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota. The family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Dad and I were very upset to hear of Jack’s passing. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless Dick Driskill and Donna Jacob
