Ray F. Perry

Ray was my best friend on Ham Radio he like to send Morse Code and was good at it too. I really do miss him. Fred Jones WA4SWF

Ray my friend for many years and a ham radio operator, we sent Morse Code together and in the same ham club. He did so much during World War II. God will take care of him.

Ray was one of the most amiable individuals I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I interviewed him for a story in the Herald Dispatch back in July of 2014. His ability to bring a period in history back to life was remarkable. Ray was indeed part of the greatest generation and I'm a better person for meeting him. God bless him and his family.

On behalf of the Fort Gay High School Alumni Association, we extend our sincere condolences to the Perry family. Ray was a great individual who did much for his country and community.

Ray was a wonderful man and a great coach & mentor to myself (and numerous others) early in my career in Procter & Gamble's Cost Accounting department. He took us under his wing and patiently provided guidance and technical expertise on P&G's rules of Accounting. I can clearly recall him humorously referring to the debits and credits: "Your goz-IN-kas and goz-OUT-zas" are out of balance." (Accounting humor).
God bless you Ray and thank you!

Of that "Greatest Generation", Ray embodied both practical wisdom and a parsed delivery of it that was unique. He didn't just understand logic...he employed it.
