Thomas Perry, 84, of Toledo, Ohio went to be with his "best friend", Jesus on February 8, 2023. He will be missed by so many. He was born in Saginaw, Michigan on July 6, 1938 to James and Dorothy Perry. He lived in Saginaw until he retired from General Motors in 1994, then moved to Ohio to be closer to his family whom he treasured. Tom loved auto racing, especially sprints and modified race cars, and going to his favorite tracks such as Eldora, Attica, Fremont, and Toledo Speedways. He also had a passion for gospel music, playing his many CDs each day. Most of all, he loved being with family and planning/playing games. Everyone will remember his wonderful sense of humor.

Tom is survived by his son, Chuck (Bryn) Perry and daughter, Debbie (Dave) Cloud; his grandchildren, Ashlee (Jake) Grosjean, Jenna (Joe) Kelley, Jocelyn Perry and Chaz Perry; his great-grandchildren Haven and Colt Grosjean, Emma Kelley, and another on the way; his sister, Dorothy Clough. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Don Perry and his sisters, Shirley Hubbard, Betty Sperling and Marylin Brown.

Many thanks to Kind Hearts Hospice and Aviva Glendale for his wonderful care.

A private memorial service will be taking place on Saturday, February 18th at Tri-County Family Assembly of God with Reverend Terry Hunt officiating. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to:
