RIP C. Paul Perry

I just returned from the Memorial Service for Paul Perry. He was an internationally renowned surgeon and is the father of one of my friends at work. He led a very impressive life. Although I did not know him personally, there is no doubt he will be dearly missed.

Dr. C. Paul Perry
PERRY, DR. C. PAUL, M.D. Dr. Paul Perry entered into His Father’s kingdom on Saturday, May 3, 2008, after a valiant fight. Born in Mobile, Alabama on August 13, 1945, where he graduated from Murphy High School and met his bride for the past 43 years. He graduated from the University of Alabama with Honors, and then graduated from University of Alabama School of medicine in 1971. He served his country in the Air Force, and then began his medical practice in Birmingham, Alabama in 1978. For the past 30 years, he dedicated his practice to not only healing the physical body, but also ministering to the spiritual health of all his patients and to the preservation of the sanctity of life. In 1996 he co-founded the International Pelvic Pain Society, where he served as President and Chairman of the Board. His contributions to this specialized medical field include numerous articles, publications, and textbook chapters, an international lecturer on pelvic pain and the design of an instrument used in the diagnosis of chronic pelvic pain. He was a member of Briarwood Presbyterian Church, where he served as elder. He was a leader and shepherd for many in the community and his Godly wisdom was valued by all who knew him. He is survived by his wife Suzanne Noel Perry; sons, Jonathan Noel Perry (Stephanie), Joshua Paul Perry (Erin) of Birmingham; daughter, Elizabeth Ellen Perry also of Birmingham; his grandchildren, Jonathan Stone Perry, age 9, Davis Paul Perry, age 6, and Ashton Grace Perry, age 2. A private family graveside service will be held Tuesday, May 6, 2008, at 10:00 a.m. at Southern Heritage Funeral Home. A memorial service celebrating the life of Dr. Paul Perry will be held Tuesday, May 6, at 1 p.m. at Briarwood Presbyterian Church.

  3. I did recieve the wonderful oppurtunity of knowing this wonderful Godly Man… He was my doctor for 10 yrs. He meant a lot to me. Dr. Perry guided me through some very hard times in my life. Just knowing him in a office setting still I knew how much his family and workers meant to him….

  5. I want to continue to pray for Mrs.Perry and children and Grandchildren. I know he loved them very much and always
    talked about them on my visits.I think it wil ltake alot of grieving on my part too. He was such a Godly doctor and they are almost
    impossible to find. Iknow all his patients feel the same.   Sharon Ryan

  6. I was one of many fortunate patients to have been touched by this very helpful doctor and a beautiful child of God.  I flew from California to see him.  What meant a lot to me was his ability to understand the pain of the patient.  Even more beautiful was the spiritual side of Dr. Perry.  In my time of need he sat and prayed with my husband and me before my surgery.  We are very spiritual people and that was the best gift he also gave to us.  He will be truly missed by all who were helped by his nature, specialty and his spirituality.  God Bless Dr. Perry and his family.  No one will be able to fill his shoes.  To his family I am so sorry for your loss.

  7. I did not know him personally, but I know his daughter. She is about the finest young Christian lady I have ever known. So I will say he was probobly a wonderful person because, “by their fruits ye shall know them”. May God Bless this family.

  8. I am still praying hard for The Perry family.   I can believe it’s almost
    been a month since he went to be with God.I just pray that with each passing day the sorrow of the loss of  a love one with get alittle lighter.
    I have to continue to pray dailey for the loss of my mother and I can not even imagine the loss of a husband for Mrs Perry.  I pray for her for all the caretaking she did as his wife because being married to a Doctor she had to give up so much of her life taking care of a home,children and husband.  I hope now she can do some happy things for herself and I know God will walk with her during this lonely time. Being the caretaker is one of the hardest jobs as I have done this taking care of severalfamily members.  I also pray Mrs Perry will continue to improve from her surgery. SharonRyan.

  9. I had just called today to set up an appt. with Dr. Perry who has been my wonderful doctor and was told that he passed away in May. I feel like I have lost a family member. His kind and spiritual approach to healing and helping his patients is something anyone finds. My heart and prayers are with his wife and family. Dr. Perry, I miss you greatly and I know you are sitting back with Bear Bryant having wonderful discussions about Alabama football. You are missed but will never be forgotten.

    God Bless,
    Jennifer
