If I'm repeating myself I apologize. First time meeting Perry was with Dubie Baxter of all people, also passed.
Dubie drove me out to meet Perry at his place. Dubie had that 3-4 that wanted authenticated. I met Marie and the 2 dogs, sweet lady for sure. Damn if I can remember the roadside diner next door. (Lucy's?)
Dubie and Perry introduced me to fried okra. So I'm watching for the reaction as I take the first bite. Not sure which heart skipped a beat but I liked it. They nearly pissed themselves laughing.
There were times I would call Perry for a gut check on a knife and he always obliged.
My last conversation with Perry well within a year of his passing was regarding a very early Case knife my customer friend discovered amongst an attic clean-out.
I couldn't find any provenance to confirm so I called Perry.
To his credit he did have some information regarding the knife and helped my friend pass it along with a nice payment. Turned out to be a rare Case folder of the model.
We'll all miss him for different reasons but he was a friend of everyone.
