The Lake County GOP is saddened to have to announce the passing of Schererville Town Council President Perry Ferrini. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time.
From the Times today:
"Schererville Town Council President Perry Ferrini died Sunday from medical complications while being treated at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, town officials confirmed Monday morning.
"This was just a terrible surprise," councilman Hal Slager said of Ferrini, was about two weeks shy of completing his first year as president of the council. "We certainly didn't expect it to go like this."
As vice president of the council, Slager will assume Ferrini's responsibility as president. No further discussions have been made about how Ferrini's council seat will be replaced.
Ferrini, a married father of three and avid White Sox fan, was the recipient of a heart transplant in August 1998."
