He adored his grandchildren and any activities he could share with them, which over the years included horsey rides, nature hikes, miniature golfing, and on and on.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – David "Bud" Allan Perry was born on March 2, 1925, to David A. Perry and Marie Ellen Brotherton-Perry in Duluth, Minnesota.
He passed peacefully at home on Aug. 26, 2020, with his family at his bedside.
At 17 years young, he joined the U.S. Navy and was a seaman on the destroyer U.S.S. Mullany for the duration of World War II. The ship took a direct hit from a Japanese Kamikaze airplane which eventually caused the captain to order an abandon ship. Hours later the ship was still afloat so it was boarded by “Bud” and a skeleton crew. They managed to get one boiler functioning and limped into a safe harbor.
David owned a small lumber company in Pacifica, California, retiring in 1999 and moved to Lake County to be near his daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren. He recently said he had done and seen everything he ever wanted in his 95 years.
David was predeceased by his mother, father, brother and two sisters.
He is survived by his son, David Perry Jr., of Costa Rica; daughter, Ellen Perry-Noble and son-in-law, John Noble of Upper Lake (whom he also considered a son); son, Timothy Perry of Montara, California, and daughter, Jaquelyn Perry of Portland, Oregon; granddaughter, Tanya Noble of Upper Lake; grandsons, Tim and Colby Noble of Upper Lake, David "Joe" Perry of Costa Rica, and Nicholas Perry of Nice. He also leaves behind numerous great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
David was one of the last to be considered of "The Greatest Generation" and he fit that to a tee. He was kind, considerate and had a scalpel-sharp wit. He was a hero to his entire family.
"So long Pa.”
