Bill Perry Obituary

William "Bill" Perry

October 24, 1959 - February 7, 2015

Bill was born in Wurzburg, Germany and grew up in Estacada, Oregon. Bill graduated from Estacada High where he was a key athlete on the football and basketball teams. He went on to play football at Western Oregon State College in Monmouth before transferring to UofO where he graduated and became a lifelong Ducks fan.

Bill was a Certified Public Accountant who worked for May Trucking Company, was a partner with Aldrich, Kilbride & Tatone, and later worked privately in his own practice.

Bill enjoyed animals and the outdoors. Springer spaniels were his dog of choice, and Foster and Detroit Lakes his favorite venues for an afternoon of fishing on the water. He also loved cheering on his Ducks at Autzen Stadium, skiing in Sun Valley and watching the sunset at Pacific City. Most of all he enjoyed spending time with his son.

Bill is survived by his high school sweetheart and partner of many years, Rhonda Taylor-Kenny, his son Will Jared Perry and his daughter Melonie Carr-Bair.

Wow! I remember you as a hospitable and kind. I often think back when my Uncle Roy L. Britt and I were doing landscaping at your house up on the hill out south. RIP Bill, say hello to my Unk. God bless you friend.
