'We just theorized my dad said, 'I've got to go, but I'm not going without her.' So, they left the same day.'

Port Huron Times HeraldRobert and Janet Perry, of the Croswell area, both died of natural causes on Jan. 1, 2020.PORT HURON, Mich. – They met as young adults before spending close to seven decades together.“We just theorized my dad said, ‘I’ve got to go, but I’m not going without her,’” Bart Perry said of his parents, Robert and Janet Perry. “So, they left the same day.

The Perrys had volunteered on local fair boards and attended the local Methodist church. Robert Perry started work on the family farm before venturing into entrepreneurship in constructing two manufactured home communities. Janet and Renae both worked with him in the office, while two of their sons worked outside.

“They were good, honest, hard-working, local folk that met in high school because Dad had a horse trailer and my mom needed a horse taken to the saddle club in Sandusky,” he said Thursday. “She inquired about getting a ride and it turned into a relationship that lasted.” She also remembers her father’s long-budding love for his communities, particularly the blue prints he kept rolled up and hidden when, as a child, she’d come for a kiss goodnight.“He loved immensely to build these communities,” he said. “Then, we had a big job in keeping them running.”Although the mobile home communities had become a family business, Bart said his father gave it up when his mother developed dementia three years ago. Instead, he said, Bob went to work as Janet’s caretaker.
