Perry was a proud member of the Briggs community, where he was simply known as "Huck." Huck loved spending his time at the river, especially with his family. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, camping and cooking on an open flame. Hog meat was his specialty with a side of brown beans and fry bread. When Huck wasn't at the river, you could find him at home playing a game of Yahtzee, marbles or a hand of solitaire which was his favorite. He also loved to share his knowledge to the younger kids on making stickball sticks, bows and baskets. Huck worked for Cherokee Nation Food Distribution for many years driving trucks. He will be missed and loved by all that knew him.
