The Perry Boys. I read of Graham's passing in the Herald this morning. A great flood of memories came to mind from Graham's days of high energy and adventure. We cherish those days of youthfulness and Graham was the catalyst of most of them but only after he had professionally dealt with the leadership of our Marist School Boards.
Rupert, Anso and other fms will have your bereavement intention in our prayers.
Graham and Sue, our thanks.You brought colour and enjoyment into our lives. Colin fms

Nick and all the Perry family- Sincere condolences and best wishes from an old workmate, fellow hunter and nostalgic event sharer over your father's few years in Wellington and occasional get togethers over the many years since. After a long and eventful life may he rest in peace.

Dear Mick and Simon,
Condolences to you both and the wider family. I never knew or worked with your Dad as a Police Officer but I certainly knew him as a significant family man in my younger days. Before I had a driver's licence he was my parent transport' to take the kids [Simon] to footy games.
Mind you you are both very much a chip of the old block and it has been a pleasure to share our policing service here in Wellington.
Dad was a true New Zealand legend and sadly I can't share your service on Friday as I'm heading to Auckland to inter mum's ashes.
All the very best.

Dear Nick and family, my sympathies to you on your fathers passing. He was a legend in NZ Police history. There will be so many stories to be told and retold for a very long time. I am so sorry that I won't be able to be at his funeral Mass on Friday as I will be returning from Fiji at the same time. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
