Memories and Condolences
for Robert Perry
October 2, 2015
I had the privileged of getting to know Bob (Uncle Bob)by marring my wife Tracy Anderson. Bob was one of the purist and nicest individuals I have ever met! Tracy had the greatest respect for her Uncle Bob and Aunt Jean! You do not come along a man like Uncle Bob very often in life. A lot of good conversations and an occasional beer (only 1 a visit) over the years I knew him. Our heart is out to his wife Aunt Jean and his family be comforted that he lead a long and adventurous life and touched many!

What a great photo of Bob! This is how I remember him-always with a big smile and a warm greeting. Bob and Jean were dear friends of my parents and they were role models for my brother and me as we grew up within our church family. I know about the "burned bacon" because Dad always chuckled about it. My parents' lives were enriched by their friendship with Bob and Jean and I am glad that I had the opportunity to know him. My sympathy to Jean and the Perry "kids."

The best Uncle anyone could ever have. Our friends and family agree. Not only did he teach us every sport available, he taught us about the fairness of the sport. He taught me how to Jitter Bug when I was 5, and sang "Mammie" like Al Jolson on my 50th birthday. He never knew he ate onions at our house:) Love and Miss you! Hugs to Aunt Jean and all the cuz's.
