Roger Perham

We just learned of Roger’s passing and our hearts are broken. The years and distance took a toll on our connection, but we have such great memories as friends & neighbors in Kentwood.
Our love to you, Joan, and your family.
Love, Susie and Rick Simpson ❣

I worked for Roger at the Credit Union for many years. He was the best CEO and I loved working for him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

The Perham family have been long time friends of our family . Humor and compassion come to my mind when I think of him . A big hug last time I saw him . I burst into tears . Him and Joan Carol and Brian will always be considered family to me , even though it was so long ago . Through my parents . God has his plan . And I needed that last hug . ♥

Roger was an outstanding man and dearly loved friend with a truly kind heart who made friends wherever he went. Words cannot express how deeply we will miss him and all of the great times we spent together and we pray for God's blessings and comfort for Joan, Brian, Carol, and their families.

I interviewed with Roger in 1969, when it was GR Telephone Employees CU. He was hesitant to hire me, because I was only 19, and I would be working with women in there 60’s. I convinced him to give me a chance, I always respected how he grew the CU and how well he took care of his employees. Roger grew the CU to the 2 nd largest in GR by the time he retired. He and I had our ups and downs during those decades of working together, and two more CEO’s followed before I finally retired. In...

So sorry to hear this Joan, thinking of you, Carol and Brian, sending prayers you way. I will always remember how Roger helped me up the ladder at the Credit Union, a good guy

We will sure miss our dear friend and neighbor of 25 years. We have so many beautiful and fun memories that will live on forever in our hearts. God bless the family as they grieve his loss,
Dave & Michelle Harrison

Our sympathy to Joan and your family on the occasion of Roger's passing. Rog was a great friend to the huge Michigan Bell Telephone Co. family and a special friend to his Central High School Classmates.
