“Matty, Thank you for ten incredible years of laughter and creativity,” a grieving Schwimmer, who played Perry’s best friend on the iconic sitcom Ross Geller, wrote.

“I will never forget your impeccable comic timing and delivery. You could take a straight line of dialogue and bend it to your will, resulting in something so entirely original and unexpectedly funny it still astonishes.

“And you had heart. Which you were generous with, and shared with us so we could create a family out of six strangers.”

Schwimmer shared a single photo of him and Perry dressed in Miami Vice-inspired outfits from the episode The One With Thanksgiving Flashbacks.

“This photo is from one of my favorite moments with you. Now it makes me smile and grieve at the same time.

“I imagine you up there, somewhere, in the same white suit, hands in your pockets, looking around—

“‘Could there BE any more clouds?’”

The Friend’s co-stars have been tight-lipped until this week, where one after the other, they’ve mourned the death of their cast mate.

Aniston, who played Rachel Green in the sitcom, also broke her silence on Perry’s Wednesday, sharing on social media a photo from the Friends set, a text message exchange between the two, and a scene of theirs from the show.

“Oh boy this one has cut deep…” Aniston wrote.

“Having to say goodbye to our Matty has been an insane wave of emotions that I’ve never experienced before. We all experience loss at some point in our lives.

“Loss of life or loss of love. Being able to really SIT in this grief allows you to feel the moments of joy and gratitude for having loved someone that deep.

“And we loved him deeply. He was such a part of our DNA. We were always the 6 of us. This was a chosen family that forever changed the course of who we were and what our path was going to be.

“For Matty, he KNEW he loved to make people laugh. As he said himself, if he didn’t hear the ‘laugh’ he thought he was going to die.”

Aniston continued: “His life literally depended on it. And boy did he succeed in doing just that. He made all of us laugh. And laugh hard. In the last couple weeks, I’ve been pouring over our texts to one another.

“Laughing and crying then laughing again. I’ll keep them forever and ever. I found one text that he sent me out of nowhere one day. It says it all. (See the second slide…)

“Matty, I love you so much and I know you are now completely at peace and out of any pain.

“I talk to you every day… sometimes I can almost hear you saying ‘could you BE any crazier?’

“Rest little brother. You always made my day…”

Perry, who rose to fame for his role as Chandler Bing, was found unresponsive with his head underwater in a jacuzzi at his home in Los Angeles.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ at the time that first responders responded to a call for a cardiac arrest.

No drugs were found at the scene, and foul play is not suspected, sources revealed to the outlet.

Perry reportedly arrived home after a two-hour game of pickleball and sent his assistant out on an errand shortly after.
