Perty would like to close with these sentiments:  “ I lost my best friend  this week.  He was such a pleasure to live with.  This world was so much sweeter for his having been in it.  He brought so much joy and inspired so many people’s lives.  He was so free with his kindness.  He spread so many blessings on those around him.  He was such a gift, such a blessing, such an incredibly special person.  I am the most fortunate person in the world to have shared his life for fifty-nine years.  I look forward to seeing you soon and talking with you again face to face (3 John 1: 14)”.
