God Bless. I knew Joe what seems ages ago maybe 1992? The trolly business was going strong.He was doing something with a company in Mexico if I remember correctly.He was a kind and caring person.He had such a busy and full life,but he always had time for me and my family.I remember one Christmas we all got on a trolly and rode around and sang Christmas carols.It was one of the best holidays ever! 
Much love to the family.It was odd this morning about 2:30 a.m. .his name and memory of him and his kindness came to me in a dream. I was giving his name to a friend to buy a trolly.Odd how our minds work.Much love to the family from John and Meg Kish and family. .

I have only just stumbled over this and discovered that Jody has been gone for over five years now. And where I had just been inclined to reach out and say "Hey!" and give thanks for his kindness and support "way back when", I found myself in tears, grieving the loss of a man I scarcely knew for only a brief time, many years ago... 

This is how powerful Jody Perez really was: I've never known anyone quite like him. The whole family was just the greatest, and I still consider it a privilege that I was able to be a part of it if only for awhile. Jody Perez was the only grown man who ever looked me in the eye and told me he loved me... including my own father. It's just impossible to forget him, and I think he makes a sterling role model of what every human being should aspire to be.

Hey Jody; It was a real pleasure knowing you and your dad. People don't know that we worked our first jobs at where our dad's worked. Your dad was my ride from the westside till I could buy my own car,so I got to know him pretty good. A real paesan. Then I met you in ft.laud and we took "Lolly the Trolley" barhopping of coarse for promo purposes.lol After that you just blew up that trolley business. I'm proud to say I know you. Say hi to your dad for me. Rock on my brother.  Jimmy Latona

My sincere condolences Darcy and Joey R.I.P Jody Love and prayers  go out to you.

I love you Daddyo!  I miss you so much!  XOXO

Darcy,

I am glad the trolley business is still going strong.  I remember being in fla with Jody when he first started the business from his home.  I would anwser the phone when we had the answering service called off.  I have pictures of you Joey and Sydney with your Dad.  You can email me your address and I will send them to you if you like.

God Bless

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Jody,
there are two types of people in this world.  Those that take the talents God gave them an use them to make this world a better place and those that take more and give little.  You are the giver and you made a big difference for so many.  Even those that did not appreciate your generosity are part of God's plan.  Get some well-deserved rest my friend.  I will see you again but not just yet.

Frank

Dear Jody,

That picture is the way I remember you when we were on the trolley car. Rest in peace my old friend.  God bless

Katie

Darcy,I will miss Jody and especially his phone calls keeping me on my toes! Love, Phil

Jody:  Thanks for always being such a good friend.  I always enjoyed the time we spent together.  Thanks too for being such a good listener and for always having a kind word of encouragement.  I will miss you.  Too bad we never got to "do" anything together in this life.  Maybe we'll get to "do" something together in the next one.  I don't know how long it will be but I know I will see you again.  Save me a spot at the table... Dennis

Jody always made myself and the guys from the old westside laugh and in grade school the same thing. God Bless.

Jody,  I didn't know you really well. But I do know you were Bobby Z.  Father in his heart. The only man as he told me how much he loved as a Dad that taught him what he knows. Some of it anyway. I want to Thank You for doing what you did with Bobby Z. As he is the Best. My Husband  we will miss you as we do Uncle Sal, Aunt Mary.  And will NEVER forget the last boat I think it was your 20-25 year Anniversary. It was Awesome.  Well enough said.  R I P. no more pain.  I am Happy you are in Heaven.   Love you,  Honey Z

Darcy & Little Joe, my heart goes out to you both. I know how much your father loved you! Now, to you Jody, I will never, ever forget the laughs and fun that we all had. I will always remember our weekend on Lake Okeechobee. I know that Frank was there to meet you. He would not be anywhere else. You meant a lot to him. He loved you so. Take care my friend and tell Frank I said hi. See you both again.

Jimmy (Jody) as I finish my days here on earth, I will never forget the lessons you have taught me through the years. I love You. You are now my Angel. Watch over us all. Until we all reunite. RIP DAD!

R.I.P. Jody. Knowing you are eternally re-united eases the pain.
