I remember briefly working with Greg at UPS in the 90s in Goleta, California. I was reminiscing and thinking of the people I used to work with and I wanted to know where he was. I’m very sorry to see this. Condolences to the family.

Dear Perring Family,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Death is something that deeply affects us all. It takes away those we love most. But the Bible gives us a comforting picture in John 11:11, where Jesus compares death to a peaceful sleep. Just as we naturally wake up from sleep, Jehovah promises to wake our loved ones from death. In Acts 24:15, we’re reminded of the beautiful hope that God has given us the hope of the resurrection. May this hope bring you comfort and strength as you look forward to the day you’ll see Gregory again.

I feel lucky to have been a part of Greg’s life and will always remember his smile and laugh as well as the joy he brought to his family and friends. With love, Mary Kelly and the Kelly family ❤️

Dear Joe and Linda and family,
Although we never had the privilege of meeting and knowing Greg, we got to know him through your words and love today at the celebration of life. We offer our love, our listening and our hugs as you continue this journey of life without his presence at your family table.

I have so many memories of Greg. One that I am thinking of this morning is at Mama Joys-might have been when I was in first grade & he had my name in the Perring gift exchange. He gave me this big stuffed brown dog that I named Ralph. Ralph was a part of my regular lovey crew for many years. ❤️ Greg was always good for a deep conversation. His eyes made you feel he was really listening. Love you Greg. I know you have good company in heaven. ❤️

Greg came to visit me in Fiji for an extended stay in our downstairs flat. It was such a pleasure to have him with us. I remember he became friends with all of our friends and he got in with the local surf community. Pretty soon he was planning surfing trips around the island. We had some deep conversations late into the warm Fiji nights, and I remember him sharing his music with me (on his G-pod). We talked about him just living in Fiji with us, I was sad when he left. He was a warm soul.

One of my favorite memories of Greg is from a family wedding that was (I think) in Colorado. It was chilly, so I wore this teal colored velour skirt and top combo. When Greg gave me a hug, he gave me this hilarious compliment about the texture of my getup. I still smile thinking about it! Greg had a way of noticing the little things and finding beauty everywhere - in the places the rest of us didn’t even see (or feel!). I just can’t believe he isn’t here to point those things out to us now. For the rest of my life, when I notice a small, quirky, beautiful thing, I will smile and think of Greg. We love you, cousin - run to the angels!

When Greg was in the high school Sunday school class that Paul and I were teaching, he would come up with the most off-the-wall questions that had nothing to do with what we were discussing. He always made us laugh and we would then get on a totally different subject for discussion. He always remembered to thank us for the muffins or doughnuts that we usually brought to the class. He was so much fun.

I remember Greg when he was young and I remember him sitting in church not long ago and we had a nice conversation. I am so very sorry for your loss and for ours as well.

Greg was always willing to share a big hug and smile when I saw him.
