Thomas Perry Obituary

Thomas E. Perry

Jan 9, 1942 - Aug 8, 2024

Sandusky

Thomas E. "Tom" Perry, 82, of Sandusky, passed away unexpectedly early Thursday morning, Aug. 8, 2024, at his home.

He was born Jan. 9, 1942, in Clintwood, Virginia, the son of Andy and Zella (Mullins) Perry. He worked at Sandusky FORD Motor Company for over 30 years, retiring in 1993.

In his younger days, he enjoyed hunting, but he especially had a love for beagles. Tom bred them and then raised and field trained them for many years, as his dogs would be sent around the area and around the country. He attended Sandusky Church of God.

Tom is survived by two daughters, Charline Tigges and Darlene (Roger) Bibler; three cherished grandsons, Charles Tigges, Travis (Camie) Bibler, and Tony (Emily) Bibler; seven very cherished great-grandchildren, Trinity, Brodie, Cooper, Issabelle, Katlin, Evan, and Julian; brother, Harry (Tessie) Perry; and nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; wife of 42 years, Gloria "Granny" (Kostopoulos) Perry (2017); son-in-law, William Tigges; and several brothers and sisters.

Visitation will be 10 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 13, 2024, until the time of Tom's funeral at 11 a.m. at Sandusky Church of God, 1018 W. Bogart Road, Sandusky. The Revs. Sam and Harvey Studer will officiate. Burial will be at Sand Hill Cemetery, Sandusky.

The family suggests that memorial contributions may be made in his memory to Sandusky Church of God, 1018 W. Bogart Road, Sandusky, Ohio, 44870.

Arrangements have been entrusted to David F. Koch Funeral and Cremation Services, 520 Columbus Avenue, Sandusky.
