A dapper man of great stature. Though we lost touch through the years I will always cherish the little time we had as we shared the Word of God. I came to know, love and respect my uncle. I am so very sorry I missed his funeral but my prayer is we will be reunited and be able to share forever our love of the Lord. God bless the family, give them peace. You all are in my prayers. Love, Roz
Many Blessing to the family God be with you
You have my condolences and may Uncle Percy rest in peace.
