Cambridge, NY William “Bill” Earl Perry of Cambridge passed over on Nov. 14, 2020, after struggling for many years with Idiopathic Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis and other autoimmune diseases. He was predeceased by his father, James E. Perry, Jr. and his niece Erin Rae Austin Burke. Survivors include his mother, Florence Philpott Perry, and siblings Margaret and Peter Roberson (Pop’s Taxi), Patricia and Christopher Messineo, Douglas and Marlene Perry, and Barbara and Raymond Austin, as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins. He is also survived by his closest friend and confidant, Sophia Healy of North Bennington, VT and San Antonio, TX; his traveling companion, Alan Veargason of West Babylon, NY, and good friend Xhyru Niv of the Philippines. Bill graduated from Greenwich Central School in 1966 and attended SUNY Plattsburgh, HVCC, and Memorial School of Nursing. He enjoyed traveling the world with time spent in Europe, especially Italy. In addition, he made many trips to South Africa, Hawaii, and the Continental US, especially the southwestern states. He was self-employed for many years at Great Oak Farm and then enjoyed a 30-year career at Landview Farm, working in many positions in the dairy. While there, “Mr. Bill” made many friends in the Latino community, which made work and life much more enjoyable. Bill believed it was far better to give than to receive, and donated his body to Albany Medical College to help further the training of future doctors. A Celebration of Life will be held at 3:00 p.m. on December 13 at Bottskill Baptist Church in Greenwich. Friends and family may visit at 2:00 p.m. Masks are required. Burial will be at the convenience of the family at the Hoosick Rural Cemetery.
