Willie Dean Perkins entered this world on Sep 10, 1932, the son of John and Leatrice Perkins. He departed this life on Aug 28, 2022, leaving a hole that can never be filled.
There was a lot of living in between those dates. Dean’s life encompassed volumes that cannot adequately be defined by a few paragraphs. He earned his Bachelor’s in Science degree from North Texas State University in 1957, a Master’s in Education from Southwest Texas State University in 1964, and a Doctorate in Education from East Texas State University in 1975.
