Letter to the editor: Perry's passing

Thu, 07/14/2016 - 2:39 pm

It is with deep sorrow I learn of the sudden tragic passing of Robert Perry. Robert Perry had a distinguished law enforcement career as a jailer, deputy and former sheriff elected by the voters of Jack County.

He had a strong abiding, determined love for his talented wife, Lisa, and his two daughters and a shining pride in their accomplishments.

Robert was a courageous, blunt “can-do” person, but as he often acknowledged, unsuited to be a politician as he despised “political correctness” and “weasel words”.

Perhaps sometimes not diplomatic, he was brave, honest and forthright — very great virtues tempered only by time and fate.

He will be seriously missed.

From one who benefited by his presence and strength,

Sincerely,

Michael Mask
