To the Perkins family; our deepest sympathies to all of you. New Hampton has lost a giant, a public servant who really cared about the issues facing our city. Covering City Council meetings just won’t be the same, but I am grateful that I had a chance to spend time with him. Bob and Teresa Fenske

No heart breaks alone for God is always near. When a prayer is whispered God is always there to hear. When sorrow’s overwhelming, He comforts tenderly. A single tear never falls that he does not hear.(Psalms 65:2)
I worked with Stan all the time I was at the New Hampton residency. A great guy to work with. We were shipped out one summer to Marquette for a bridge deck overlay project. we played golf every Wednesday. I was the one who got him the Bob Feller autograph. Great memories
