Robert William (Bob) Perrin passed away peacefully in Dallas, Texas at the age of 100 on February 6, 2023. Bob was born September 18, 1922 in St. Louis to Peter and Emma Perrin.
Bob met and married Virginia Graves of Montgomery City. They were both employed by IBM in St. Louis in 1945. They moved to Montgomery City in 1947, when Bob partnered with Boots Reed in the Montgomery True Value Hardware store. Bob was very involved in the community, being a member of the city council, school board, Chamber of Commerce and Kiwanis Club and a deacon at the First Baptist Church.
When Bob retired in 1987, he and Virginia were able to enjoy traveling and spending more time with grandchildren. They moved to a retirement community in St. Charles in 2022 after living for 55 years in Montgomery City. After Virginia passed away, Bob moved to Denver before later relocating to Dallas to be closer to family.
Bob is survived by daughters Kathryn Britt (Larry) and Mary Keithley (Terry); grandchildren, David Britt, Ellen Britt Niemeyer, Jennifer Keithley Untermeyer and Elizabeth Keithley Sizemore; 10 great-granddaughters, Riley and Madison Britt, Tessa, Laura and Kate Niemeyer, Emily, Stephanie, Natalie and Delaney Untermeyer and Mackenzie Sizemore. Bob was a wonderful role model for all of his family members and was much respected and loved. He will be greatly missed.
