   Perry was self-employed with Old Dutch Foods at the time of his passing. He spent a total of almost 24 years with them.

   Perry was a devoted husband who always honored his wife in all her crazy Halloween shenanigan’s. Perry was an exceptional father who had boundless love and unwavering support for his children and grandchildren.

   Great times were had camping and boating as a family. Later tubing and sea-dooing at the cabin at White Bear Lake. Perry enjoyed quadding and snowmobiling with friends. In later years, Perry resumed riding a motorcycle, and with his wife or friends enjoyed many trips through Canada and the US on their Harley.

   Perry was known for how kind and gentle he was and for his friendship. Perry readily extended a helping hand to anyone day or night.

   Perry was predeceased by his beloved mother Nora, his aunties Edna and Jean, and his uncles Vern, Nelson and Cliff.
