Its very sad to hear about Mr. Perrys passing. He and his wife lived out the back of us for most of my life and we often chatted across the back fence. They were lovely people and were amazingly kind to us when my dad passed. Every time we would go up to Kirkland Lake for our summer visit we would drop in to see them and have a lovely visit. So many of our neighbours have now gone and its going to be very sad to go up there and not have them to visit. Thanks for everything Mr. Perry. Condolence To Rick and his family.

Affectionately known as “Poochie” to his family, he loved spending time outdoors and acting as a part-time mechanic, tinkering with the latest project. As a young man, he enjoyed playing many sports which he later enjoyed watching with his wife, June. Both were passionate Toronto Maple Leafs and Blue Jays fans, and they rarely missed a game.He is survived by his nephew, Ricky Groves and his wife Clarice and their children Jennifer Hartwick (John) and their children Avery and Harrison, Kristopher Groves (Candice) and their children Parker and Myles; nieces Wendy Woodcock, Lilian Butts, Debby Purvis and nephew Brian Perry.We would like to offer our sincere thanks and gratitude to the amazing neighbours of Federal Street who have provided such wonderful support, care and friendship to Clarence and June during their 70 years in their home.
