Robert Ralston Perry

Robert (Bob) Ralston Perry, 95, of Atlanta, GA passed away peacefully on Dec. 12, 2018. He was predeceased by Dolores (Dee) Perry, his wife of 57 years. He is survived by 3 daughters: Patty (Brad) Ferrer of Atlanta, Pam (Mark) Pieper of Suwanee, and Phyllis Perry of Atlanta. Also surviving are 5 delightful grandchildren whom he adored: Benjamin and Andrew (Erin) Ferrer, and Scott (Ashley) Pieper, Melissa (Stephen) McClain, and Stephanie (Clint) Metzler; 4 beloved great-grandsons: John and Patrick McClain and William Perry and Samuel Robert Pieper; 6 nieces and nephews and extended family.

Mr. Perry, born Oct. 16, 1923 in Scottdale, PA, served 3 years in the US Navy during WWII. He married in 1948, graduated from Duquesne Univ. in 1951, and began his career as a Special Agent of the FBI. After serving in several offices throughout the South, he was stationed in Atlanta in 1958, retiring in 1978 after 27 years of loyal and dedicated service.

Mr. Perry enjoyed 40 years of retirement. He was a member of several organizations including the VFW, the Society of Former Special Agents of the FBI, a Freemason of the Scottish Rite, and a member of the Yaraab Shrine. He enjoyed Oreo cookies, model railroading and was an avid singer including church choirs and Barbershop choruses. He was also a constant whistler, much to his wife’s dismay.

Our family will be forever grateful to his dedicated caregivers who provided loving care as well as to Seasons Hospice.

Family and friends will gather to celebrate his life at a visitation on Jan. 12, 2019 from 2-4pm at H.M. Patterson & Son-Oglethorpe Hill, 4550 Peachtree Road, Brookhaven.

In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Home, 760 Pollard Blvd. SW, Atlanta, GA 30315.
