He was very dedicated to his job, starting with a position in Right of Way Maintenance and rising through the ranks to Operations Manager. He was a proud member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers for many years. In his spare time, Perry loved being with his family, cooking special meals, and watching the Saint Louis Cardinals. He had an exceptionally close relationship with his son and grandson, and together they enjoyed boating, fishing, and living the lake life. Perry was of the Christian faith and also a longtime member of the Hazelwood Masonic Lodge in Seymour, Missouri. He was a devoted husband, the best father, a wonderful ‘Peeps’ to his grandson, and a beloved friend to many. We celebrate his life and know he will be remembered with a smile from privileged to have known him.
