Perry George Samuel Wilding

Perry was born October 31, 1968, in London, England to George and Patricia Wilding. Before coming to America, Perry served his country with the rank of Rifleman of the Royal Green Jackets in the British Army. He came to the United States in 1991 where he met his wife, Donna. He had many stories of how they met but the theme of all of them was that he fell in love at first sight. He became a proud citizen of the United States in September of 2010. Even after 35 years in the U.S., he still loved a good cup of tea, black pudding, and beans on toast. If asked if he wanted sugar in his tea, he would respond, “No thanks, I’m sweet enough.” He loved a good joke.

Perry was known for his humor and making people laugh, his love of music, and being one of a kind. He loved telling a good story. He could make someone laugh at the most serious of things. His hobbies included traveling, photography, cars, motorcycles, shooting guns and having a cold pint of beer at the end of the day. He had a great love for his family and for his dogs.

He will be greatly missed and forever remembered.

He is survived by his wife Donna, his daughter Amy and son-in-law Andrew Nuthak. He is also survived by his parents George and Patricia Wilding and his sister, Sara Wilding.
