OK now you know your going to get comments about this....I was at first going to make a rather unkind statement but then I realized that this article is unfinished....the man wanted to die but we do not know the circumstances as to why he took the money and then did himself in....maybe there was a really good reason?? So no comment.

Absolutely brilliant, holly...You type all those words and end it with "no comment."

Yeah!, hollygolightly, there are many good reasons to steal from ones spouse. Think, gambling, drinking, women paying off debts etc.

And just why do any of you think its your business to know more
about this familys business?

thats sad that he killed himself but stealing for your child is wrong

What is sad is the fact that this woman of God had to believe that she could not escape this evil mans cluthes. I pray that you will find a new life in Christ and leave all your worries to him. Because through Christ we CAN DO ALL THINGS.

I don't give a rats behind why he stole the money, or that he is dead for that matter. I do however know that there were 30+ children at vacation bible school during the time of the shooting. Some of the children were on the playground just 30-40 feet from where this idiot took his life!! Who cares what his story is or was. I hope god takes care of his wife and step child, what he could have done to the children on that playground can affect the rest of their lives!!

I'm always surprised when someone that old has no decency or respect for others. Steal from your spouse? Off yourself in a church garden during bible school? You'd think a person could at least dispose of himself without traumatizing the community.

And nobody asked his wife's permission to cash those checks that were in HER name! how did that happen?

Stealing is wrong no matter what the reason.

i thank the banks should be responsible for all of it..but it doesn't get that bad to wanna shoot yourself.do the crime do the time.he was a scaredy cat and couldn't face the fact he was going to be someones little b^&*^ in prison..good for him he killed off some more scum

A selfish, evil man right up to the very end. There are a million places he could have offed himself....but lets choose his wifes Church, with scores of could be witnesses not thirty feet away. He may have been mentally ill, but I doubt it. Just a selfish, loathsome man.

This is really sad. I wonder will we ever know what he did with the money. Damn that's a lot of money in 10 months. Whoever cashed the checks for him should be made to pay restitution, especially if he couldn't pass the required credentials.

I was just wondering if during the 10 months did the wife/son notice the money was even missing not that it matters I was just wondering why it took 10mths???

I don't see why he needed his wife's permission anyway, whats hers is his and vuce-versa

The bank that cashed these checks without authorization should be made to pay the widow restitution....plain and simple!

I wonder if he went to the VA and cashed the checks just like the story where they cashed the check made out to DELL the other day. I would really like to know what banks are not checking before cashing checks. I don't ever want to do business there. I know wachovia checks!!! There should start being penalties and a big article in the paper and on news telling everyone which banks are allowing this to happen!!!

what a selfish old man-he truely had some issues!!

That's one less person we have to house and feed.

Even grocery stores check ID. The person the check is made out to has to be the one on the ID.

I hope I never lose a check and it is to that bank

I don't see a problem! My wife has lots of money and my kids, and my mother and my sister. As long s that tree keps growing

I wonder if someone in the brokerage firm that was allowing these checks to be cashed, was in on it....The man stole his stepsons money left because his natural father died...and the money of his wifes was her inheritance to raise her children....the man was scum.

How can these places mistake this man for a woman? Dua! Obsouly if he is using his wifes checks and they are still excepting them there is someone covering his but. Because think about it what bank,convient store, or grocerie store is going to look at the check and say he is just one of those men with a girlie name.

I had someone steal one of my checks and make their own checks from my routing and checking account number with her name and a fictitious address on them...the bank didn't catch it...and the clincher? The bank name on the check wasn't even my bank! Now you tell me how in the world they didn't catch that? I mean why do we even fill out signature cards when we open an account if they are gonna accept checks with the wrong bank on them? Boggles the mind.

Somehow a refund check vanished into thin air, I believe from my mailbox. I called the state, I can't get another check issued for three months!! Meanwhile this dude cashes checks all over the place, and stole from a child. Yeah I miss the money but it's not gonna make me commit fraud. He took the cowards way out.

Nobody knows the circumstances behind all of this. Yes, it was wrong to commit the theft to his wife and stepson, but I knew this man personally. I used to babysit for him and Alice. They were married for over 10 years. He used to teach me in high school. This man was a retired marine colonel who may have been facing some kind of mental illness that made him go off the deep end, the bottom line is we don't know what really happened in this family. Its between Alice, the kids and Mr. Perrin. My heart goes out to all of them.

Banks don't actually care who cashes a check or who signed the check. Unless you alert them to fraud they don't take the time to make sure that everything is proper.
