Perry worked as a journeyman carpenter in Kansas City before relocating to Billings, Mo as a residential framer. Perry continued his business by building homes. Perry was always active outdoors and instilled the same nature in his children. They enjoyed time together hunting, fishing, water sports (including ski competitions), and family trips. He loved the outdoors and accumulated toys to feed his active nature. His most enjoyable activities included trips around the US and Canada on his Harley with Donna, weekends on his Malibu boat skiing barefoot or running the slalom course, fishing in his Champion boat, bow and gun hunting for deer, turkey, pheasant and other game, a multitude of Mexico vacations, and riding his ATV at the farm. Perry’s kids expanded his legacy with eight grandchildren; Payton Bosserman, Athan Lummis, Ashley Bosserman, Corey Lummis, Kristian Lummis, Chase Lummis, Parker Bosserman, and Claire Lummis. He is also survived by his brother Robert Lummis and wife Patsy of Marshfield, MO. Perry continued to be active, spending time with his children and grandchildren whenever possible.
