At 14 years of age, he moved to Darke County, Ohio, where he lived the remainder of his life. He received an honorable medical discharge from the Navy during World War II in 1942. His love for music began at 16 years of age by playing in many country and western bands. However, after a dramatic conversion to Christ, he then devoted himself to gospel music.

They were blessed with 68 years of marriage and 5 children.

During the years, Perry worked in car sales and various factory positions, having finished his career being self-employed in Suburban TV Repair before retiring in 1988. Although a member of the Greenville Missionary Church, he was physically unable to attend for several years while he was a resident of Rest Haven Nursing Home. The wonderful staff and nurses there were such a blessing to him and his family in his final days here on earth.
