9 Condolences
Linda and family,
I am sorry for your loss. The older we get the more important it is to have loved ones. Other than our class reunions, I had not seen Ron, but remember him from high school days, as always quiet and pleasant. May your memories sustain you in this time of sorrow, and my prayers are with you
Dear Perkins family….I am so sorry to hear about Ron. You have our sincere sympathy. You’ll be in our thoughts and prayers.
Linda –
We were so sorry to hear of Ron’s death. It has been a long time since we have seen either of you but we remember both you and Ron with fondness. I know he will be missed by his sons and grandchildren. We are praying for peace and comfort for you and your family.

Linda Harold Kaiman called me this evening and told me about Ron. So sorry for your loss. He made a comment at our reunion that really made me think. It was like a final goodbye to all of us and now I see why. It brought tears to my eyes when he said it. I won’t be able to make it Thursday but my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It was hard to believe that you have 12 great grandchildren. We only have one and she is not even a year old.
My condolences and prayers to Ron’s family… I enjoyed shooting targets and the breeze with Ron at Southwest Iowa Sportsman’s Club. I am a better man to have known him; he was a wonderful man and will be missed.

We are honored to say that Ron Perkins is our Friend. Oh, what good times we had and wonderful times at that. Ron was a joy to be with and to work with. When you worked with Ron you knew the job would be done and done right. I worked with Ron in the Packing Houses and fished with him at Leech Lake in Northern Minnesota, and those time will never be forgotten. Goodbye ol’ Pal, see you later as you are now walking hand in hand with the Good Lord in the Garden of Heaven. God Bless You Ron and Your Family as well.
