Juacelle, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in the days to come. Travis was a good Christian man and he was such a big help to my Mother. He will truly be missed.

From Keith and Cinda Perry. Back in 1977 we were expecting our second child and were trying to come up with names for both a boy and a girl as it was not common to know the sex of the child ahead of time. We had picked a girls name but could not settle on a boys name. We knew we wanted to use Keith's middle name of Ray. One Sunday morning while sitting in the parking of IHS building waiting for Sunday school class we were again discussing names. Then a car pulled up to the building and Travis Clark got out as he was probably arriving early to teach. Cinda and I looked at each other and said "Travis Ray". We both liked the name and the character or our choice. Thus our second son Travis Ray Perry was born on Sept 13, 1977. Love ya Travis Clark. You always made people smile and often made them laugh. God Bless the family.
