Allan Perry

ALLAN ROY PERRY Allan (Al) Roy Perry died Sunday, August 24, in Missoula, Montana of an abdominal aortic aneurism.  He was born April 15, 1937 in Missoula, MT as the second son to Donald and Marion (Clinkingbeard) Perry.  He grew up in the Puyallup/Tacoma area with brother, Gordon and sister, Carole.  He moved back to Montana in 1976 where he met his bride of 37 years, MaryJo Egan. Al and MaryJo raised their family between Missoula, Huson, Stevensville and Dillon.  During that time Al worked as a boiler operator for Community Hospital of Missoula, Stevensville Public Schools and U of M - Western in Dillon.  He was an avid outdoorsman, reasonably good photographer, loyal friend, and great diver & swimmer.  His personal mantra was "Gotta take care of my family"; therefore, they always had a warm home, healthy meat in the freezer, and bills paid on time. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother, sister and three sons: Allan II, Isaac and Nathan.  He is survived by his wife, MaryJo, son, Mathieu (Maribeth) Perry; daughters Janine Vowell, AnnellaJo Perry.  Cheline (John) Winegart and Renee (Will) Harp.  His 5 grandsons and 6 granddaughters along  with 3 great grandchildren and nephews and nieces will miss his silly humor, teasing nature and big hugs.  He also leaves a huge band of Egan in-laws and a wealth of incredible friends behind. Rosary and Vigil are scheduled for Friday, August 29 at 7:00 PM at St. Rose of Lima Church. His Funeral Mass will be held at St. Rose on Saturday, August 30 at 11:00 AM.
