Franz, was always the guy at San Augustine with the great handsome looks as well as a remarkable ability to play basketball like no other. I had the previlage to know him and to be with him on a daily basis in high school. For a while I did not see him as life gets in the way, but I found out about his illness which made me very sad. God will always be with him and take the away the suffering he has gone through. The entire class of 71 will surely miss you, but will be with you in our hearts and soul. Your school buddy and friend. Cande Ramírez. My condolences for your entire family.

My father was Ernesto Perusquia and Franz was in my father's boys scout troop. He was one of the Eagle's Scout and part of the order of the arrow, the highest honor with the boys scouts. He is now rejoicing with his scout master in heaven. Rest assure that there is a celebration going on in heaven. Our condolences go out to Charles, Olga , and Sonia from Ernesto and Tina Perusquia and the Perusquia family.
