Gastonia – Thomas "Tom" Dewitt Perry, 75, passed away on December 25, 2021, at CaroMont Regional Medical Center surrounded by his family.
He was born April 24, 1945, in Allegheny County, PA to the late Chester and Sylvia Perry. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Richard A. Perry, and his brother-in-law, Michael J. Piero.
Most knew him by Tom, who was a loving husband, father, uncle, grandfather, and friend who will be greatly missed. His laughter, jokes, and friendship with Charlie Kale will be remembered and missed. He will be remembered for his love of the Lord and his love of the church. We will remember him for that and also for his continual smile, many "dad" jokes, and his love for his grandchildren…. If you asked him what he was up to, we could always count on him to answer with 5' 6".
