Not sure what to say?

I can't believe that Professor Wallace passed away. He was such a kind and humble professor.

Professor Wallace, your smile will live in my thoughts and heart forever. Rest in Peace.

Yesterday, I received my Vanderbilt Magazine, Winter, 2018, and read of the 12/01/2017, passing of Perry Wallace. To his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched, I am saddened for your loss. May his memory be for a blessing.
We did not know each other, but I was a Vanderbilt nursing student from 1967-1971. I thoroughly enjoyed Perry Walkace's prowess on the basketball court. Perry, thank you for the memories!

To the family May god bless you at this time. Didn't know that Perry went through so much in his life time, but he did it for us. Thank you Perry. Rest In Peace

Perry Wallace was my absolute favorite professor in law school. He was smart, kind, and humble. Whenever I face adversity in my life ...I think of him. He made me a better student, lawyer and person. I am so sad that he is no longer in our living world. But, he will live in my thoughts and heart forever. RIP Professor Wallace. You will be missed.
