Perry served as Executive Director of United Methodist Children's Services in the Washington Park neighborhood for many years. He was an advocate for the underserved, was unfailing in his support of families in need, and went about his work with a steadfast faithfulness and a selfless heart. After retirement he continued to volunteer for any project needed.
Most importantly he was the best husband and father one could hope for. He loved his family unconditionally and instilled in them a responsibility to make a difference in the lives of others. Perry walked quietly through this life, leaving seeds of love, hope, courage, and faith for all those whose lives he touched. He was an avid gardener, finding solace among his iris, shrubs and vegetables. Perry enjoyed cooking, woodworking, dogs, and especially loved children.
