Title
In Memory of Horace E. "Perk" Perkins
Body
To honor, recognize and celebrate the life of the late Horace E. "Perk" Perkins and to extend sincere condolences to the family and friends on the sorrowful occasion of his passing.
Perk was a veteran of the Korean War, where he served as a paratrooper, receiving two Bronze Stars.
Perk is the founder and C.E.O. of 107.5 radio station, formerly known as WJZA as well as the founder of Horrance Broadcasting Company.
Perk is survived by his wife Blanche, and children Arthur, Melissa and Adria (William H. Fields II); grandchildren William H. "Bluto" Fields III and Raven Williams and a host of relatives and friends.
Perk left an indelible impression on the people whose lives he touched, and he will be remembered for his generosity, talent and seemingly inexhaustible energy. Clearly, the world is a richer place for Perk having been in it. He will be sorely missed; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLUMBUS:
That this Council does hereby pay tribute to the memory of a truly honorable man, Mr. Horace E. "Perk" Perkins.
