Roger lost his heroic battle with multiple myeloma and subsequently Acute Leukaemia. Dad leaves to mourn his bride of 61 years, Jeannie ( Tweedy). Daughter Jennifer, son-in-law Jim Williams and favourite son Steven, daughter-in-law Michelle and grandchildren Sarah and Sami Williams, Michael and Scott Perry.
Roger was predeceased by his brother, Rev. Doug Perry.
Roger was born at a very early age in St. Catherines Ontario, November 29, 1929 to Gertrude and Major Richard H. Perry.
He was a former co-owner of Island Construction Limited and Manager of PEI Road Builders Association for 15 years.
Dad loved to have a good time , he also loved a bargain. Tuesdays you could find him at Value Village. Wednesdays, golfing with his Wagot golf group. Thursdays with the Hillsborough Rotary Club. Fridays, luncheon with the boys. And as much time as possible with family and friends at his beloved cottage in West Keppoch.
Dad loved most sports , particularly; tennis, skiing, basketball, football, fishing and golf. He was proud of shooting his age (89) last summer at Fox Meadow. Roger was also very artistic and had many hobbies including ; pottery, ceramics, and of course painting.
