In 1990 he started at Maytag in Newton and stayed until just before the plant closed. In 2005, Perry started with MidAmerican Energy as a mechanic and had been a supervisor over the truck shop for the past 10 years.

Perry was never a man to sit idle. In his spare time he loved spending time with his family and friends, working the family farm, and running his Auction business that he started in 2004. Perry enjoyed rebuilding and restoring old tractors in his shop, where you could find him most evenings. Perry loved horseback riding as well as boarding horses on his farm. Perry volunteered his time as a Reserve Sheriff’s Deputy with Marion County from 2000-2006.

Those left to honor his memory include his wife, Pam; children, Jackie (Jeremy) Dittmer, Kelli Walker and Nathaniel Walker; 13 grandchildren and numerous great grandchildren. Also surviving are his brothers, Philip (Deb) Pendroy, Paul (Lynn) Pendroy and Pat (Karen) Pendroy and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
