Our amazing Papa James Richard Perry, passed away on November 23, 2018 at the age of 81, due to a long battle with COPD and emphysema. This amazing man was born January 17, 1937 in Steubenville, Ohio, to Walter Roy Perry and Pauline Collins. In his lifetime he had many adventures. In the good old days, he traveled the world on his Harley; between truck driving and his bike adventures he got to see every state but one.
In 1989 he married the love of his life Karen Perry. The love was so strong, she stuck by his side through sickness and health. He met his other true love nine years ago, his dog Shorty. Papa and Shorty had an unbreakable bond, they spent the nights and days together, they were best friends.
We will miss him so much, but it is comforting to know he is out of pain and in Heaven with many of his loved ones.
