His love of sports encouraged him to become a little league baseball coach for the Pan American Baseball League and Prospect Hill Youth Organization where he won several state and district championships. His dedication to the sport of baseball led him to become a little league umpire where he was voted umpire of the year.

After retiring as a sheet metal worker he obtained his certification as a Pharmacy Technician and worked at Empire Pharmacy. He enjoyed helping the community by assisting them with their pharmaceutical needs.

Mr. Perez enjoyed playing the acoustic guitar, riding his motorcycles, watching the NFL (Cowboys), " fixing " everything, gambling, arguing with court TV, drinking coffee, fishing, listening to "Sunny and the Sunliners", eating every hostess brand cupcake flavor ever made, and spending time with his family.

Mr. Perez was not the perfect man, but he definitely had a loving heart. We will miss you dad, but we understand that it was your time to go home.
