Robert "Bob" A. Perkins

His parents, John and Agnes P. (Willis) Perkins, welcomed their son into the world on September 17, 1953 in Bellows Falls, Vermont. Bob grew up in Marlow, NH and attended local schools.

He was a sheet metal worker for over twenty-five years with the Holden Company in Keene. When not hard at work, Bob enjoyed antiquing, hunting and fishing. He was an avid NASCAR fan and devoted to watching his favorite soap operas on a daily basis.

He will be deeply missed by his wife of 34 years, Sandra M. "Sandy" (Derosier) Perkins of Winchester; Sandy’s two sons, Troy B. Rhoades of Keene, and Mike J. Rhoades of Winchester; his grandchildren, Ashley Paquette and Britnee Rhoades; his great-grandchildren, Oakley Grace Tymeson, Mila Rose Tymeson, Francesca Belle Tymeson, Donte Paquette, Tessa Paquette; a sister, Marie Freeman and her husband, William, of Tewksbury, MA; several nieces and nephews; and his many friends from his 34 years of residing in Winchester. A sister, Cathy Perkins, predeceased Bob.
