Perry Family: Tribute to Grandpa Perry

Tribute to Grandpa Perry

Another monumental though more somber event this past May was the death of TC's paternal grandfather, Thomas Clarence Perry, who passed away on May 25th, 2008 just 4 days before his 90th birthday. TC and I were already planning on going to his home in Foys Lake, Montana for his 90th birthay party but ended up going for the funeral instead. It was a wonderful funeral honoring Grandpa Perry's life. It was great to see so much extended family gathered together. Unfortunately, TC and I forgot our camera so we do not have any pictures from this trip. We love you Grandpa Perry and you will surely be missed!!!

How We Met

We met when both of us lived in the same apartment complex and were attending the same singles ward. We became acquainted as friends when one of Ashley's roomates was interested in one of TC's roommates and always wanted to hang out at their apartment. Ashley came along for moral support. Ashley has to admit that her initial impression of TC was not the greatest. She was wondering why he was trying to act like such a "tough guy" by shaving his head and going by TC. One day she asked him why he didn't grow his hair out to which he replied that he could not and she also learned that he goes by TC to distinguish himself from his father who is named Thomas Clark and his grandfather who is Thomas Clarence. TC relates that when he first met Ashley he thought she was cute and was contemplating asking her out or another girl in the ward. He did think Ashley was slightly immature because she was engaging in often frivolous activities such as throwing water balloons out her apartment window at people walking by and wrestling with guys in the apartment lounge. (She has grown up since then, TC says!) TC decided to give it a go and ask Ashley out after he came home from a trip visiting his sister, April, in Arizona. His roommates related that Ashley had expressed an interest in him. (Actually Ashley's roommate was trying to hook her up with TC and told his roommates Ashley wanted to go out with him. Ashley did not entirely object.) So TC called Ashley and asked her to go with a group to Pirates of the Caribbean. Their first official single date was to Wendy's (Way to go, TC, lol) TC and Ashley dated exclusively for about a year before becoming engaged in December of 2004 and were then married on April 23rd, 2005 and it has been bliss ever since!
