Harry Samuel Perrin, Jr.

Harry Samuel Perrin, Jr., affectionately known to many as “Sammy”, age 64, a native of Ponchatoula and 26 year resident of Reserve, passed away on Sunday, May 10th 2020 at his home surrounded by his loving family.

Sammy was born in Independence, Louisiana to his parents the late Harry Samuel Perrin, Sr. and Frances Jones Perrin on June 6th, 1955. He would later go on to fall in love and marry Gina R. Palermo on August 17th, 1995. They resided in Reserve, Louisiana where they raised five children. He completely devoted himself to his family as a loving father while maintaining a career as a superintendent and project coordinator in refineries across the South and overseas. Sammy’s love and support for his family and attending sporting events did not go unnoticed. Much of his leisure time was spent supporting his children at the local ballpark and gymnasium, or simply spending the weekend with his family attending horse races.

His five children: Jennifer Leigh Perrin (Ronnie) of Tickfaw; Ryan Perrin (Angie) of Springfield; Trey Perrin-Pellerin (Matthew) of Youngsville; Brandi Perrin Leblanc (Jesse) of Laplace; and Toni Lynn Perrin.

As well as numerous nieces and nephews.
