Albert Perry Obituary

Albert J. (Al) Perry Born March 9, 1930 in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Al passed away peacefully August 24, 2013 with his immediate family present, at the age of 83, the son of William and Oliver Perry. He is survived by his two children, Leslie Cook and Walk Perry. Al was an Exploration Geologist that came up through the Uranium Boom of Southern Utah in the 1950's. Starting in 1976 he worked extensively abroad in Australia, Fiji, Ghana, and Eritrea. Al traveled widely over the world with his wife, Mary until her death in 2008 and then with good friends until very recently. Al was a passionate person and believed everyone should help the less fortunate people in the World; he personally helped several young men with their schooling in Ghana along with other causes in Africa and the US. Al requested that there be no memorial service, and in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice. Al will be missed by everyone he knew.

Leslie and Walk,
We were so saddened to have lost our adventurer friend, Al. How sad you have now lost both your mom and dad.
They were so proud of you two and your accomplishments. We so enjoyed talking with both of you at your mom's memorial.
At the present time we are trying to age gracefully and have many happy memories. We send our best wishes to you and your families. Gordon and Nancy Wieduwilt

Al was a gentleman geologist with the exploration and mine development experience and wisdom that made him respected by many in the Arizona geology and mining community. He was a long-time member of the Arizona Geological Society, Mining Foundation of the Southwest, and the Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration Geology so had a wide circle of geology and engineering friends and colleagues. He will be deeply missed for his kindness, guidance, and friendship to many.
