Everyone who knew my dad lovingly called him "Pa".  Dad served the communities in which he lived.  Dad was a volunteer firefighter, then the Police Chief of Kenneth City.  Dad and his brothers formed Pasco Creamy Milk.  Dad retired from Wonder Bread/Hostess Cake in 1983.  Dad formed "Perkins Caters" with his wife Gert. Dad and Mom served many churches across Pinellas County catering their events.

Dad was preceded in death by: his wife of 50 years Gertrude; and his daughter Brenda; his parents Lewis & Verna Perkins; his sister Janet Egan; his brothers Lew & Pete.  

Dad is survived by: his daughters Sue Granton (Jim), Carol (Dean) Garvalink, Rhonda Perkins, Linda Salmon & Bobbie Joyce Romans; his grandchildren Kellie (Peter) Marsoobian, River Granton, Dylan Garvalink, Nicole Gonzalez (Mikey), Joseph White (Gail), Kimberly (Derek) Shouse, Jon (Lindsey) Romans; his  great-grandchildren: Raya & Silas Marsoobian, Elliana Gonzalez, Gabby & Giovanni Velez, Kaylie (Mike) Quill, Joe & Clayton Pick, Jared & (Brandy) Long, Heather Smith and Jon Riley; his great-great-grandson Henry Quill; his loving sister Celia Savoy; and many nieces, nephews and cousins also loved him very much.
