Perry B. Anthony, 82, a former resident of Maumee, OH, passed away on May 4, 2016, at Brookdale Assisted Living in Mentor, OH.

Perry was the GM at Balduf Bakery before retiring from Seaway Foodtown. He was a member of the Monroe Street Methodist Church. He enjoyed golf and travel, especially to Hilton Head. He coached and umpired youth baseball, and was an avid fan of Duke Basketball.
Mr. Anthony is survived by his son, Rick (Vicki); his daughter, Cheryl (Sandra Miller), and his sister, Marcia Kohler.
As it was his wish that his remains be donated to the Medical College of Ohio, no services are planned at this time. Expressions of sympathy may be sent to Cheryl Anthony, 1244 E. 362nd St., Eastlake, OH 44095. Donations in Perry's memory are urged to the charity of your choice.

Mr. Anthony had a very positive influence on my life.
He hired me right out of high school to work at Balduf Bakery. That 15-month, part-time opportunity paid what would be almost $20 an hour in today's wages.
I took that money and graduated debt free with three college degrees, which lead to a very rewarding career with a Fortune 50 company.
Unfortunately, it took years before I thoroughly understood what Mr. Anthony had done. I regret that I didn't thank him in person.
My condolences to his family.

Cheryl: I'm so sorry for your loss. Your dad was a good man. He taught me how to work and encouraged me when I started a new career. I hope you're ok.

Perry was my first boss at Balduf Bakery in 1972. He was not just a bss, but a friend of 32 years under our employment at Seaway Food Town. Ironically, I thought of him and Barb on Sunday, hearing of his passing on Monday.
My sincere condolences to Perry's family. A great man will be missed, for sure.

Perry was my first boss at Balduf Bakery in 1972. Not only was he my boss, he was a special friend during the 32 years that we worked together under the Seaway Food Town umbrella. Ironically, I was thinking of him and Barb on Sunday, only to hear of his pasting on Monday.
My sincere condolences to his family

Perry was a fine man and a true gentleman. I had the pleasure of working with him for many years at Food Town, and even though I have not seen him for many years he will truly be missed.
