Passing of Chapter 17 Member

It is with heartfelt sadness to report that Richard Perusina succumbed to Covid-19 last week.  Rich was a very active member of Chapter 17.  He attended meetings and shows as well as put on many barbecues for us with his son, John, and his family.  He was most generous and such as asset to our Chapter.  Rich is one of the founding members.  He will truly be missed.   [attachment=62317]Rich Perusina in D2.JPG[/attachment]    Richard on his D4-D in Santa Margarita "Best of the West Show".

Very sad to hear. Prayers to his family and especially to John, as they were very tight knit. Rich was best buddy of Angelo D., who owned a fleet of these fine tractors pictured. Rich treated everyone as special. They didn't create many like him. Rest In Peace sir. JM.
