 OLEAN - David Charles Perry went to be with our Lord on Saturday (June 30, 2012).
He was born on Dec. 16, 1943, in Olean, a son of the late Charles and Ruth Lawson Perry.
He graduated from Portville Central School, was a retired firefighter from Olean and worked for Homes by Oakwood until its closing.
David was a member of the Methodist Church in Portville and Salisbury Christian Fellowship in North Carolina, where he served as an usher prior to his illness. He was an avid sportsman throughout his life, receiving many awards, especially in basketball, track, volleyball and bowling. He loved NASCAR.
In addition to his parents, David was preceded in death by a brother, Robert.
Those left to cherish his memory are his wife, Judy, whom he married on Nov. 30, 1962; daughters, Dawn Lawson and husband Yancy, Julie Cradduck and husband James, and Kristan Perry and Mark; a son, Michael Perry; and nine very loved grandchildren, Dylan, Caleb, Hannah, Austin, Jordan, Cody, Nicholas, Raegan and Jakob; along with his very "spoiled" pet, Patrick. David is also survived by his three brothers, William and wife Ora Jean of Pennsylvania, Rodney and wife Rosemary, and Phillip and wife Betty, both of Arizona.
There will be a memorial service for family and close friends today at Salisbury Christian Fellowship, 210 W. Ritchie Road, Salisbury, N.C., at 7 p.m., conducted by the Rev. James Howard. There will also be a memorial service in Portville at a later date.
