"Our love and sympathy to Dona and family at this time. Perry was a man who loved God , his wife, was a loyal friend and served God in so many ways through our ABC family of Nebraska and beyond. Being a member of his Sunday School class was a huge blessing! He touched many by helping in building every Habitat home in Fremont up until he stopped to care fulll time for Dona. He will be missed!!!
