Perry was born on September 14, 1934, in Fountain Green, Utah, the son of Kenneth Perry Bailey and Leora Vee (Hanson) Bailey. Perry was raised in Nephi, Utah. "Senior" became an over-the-road truck driver at age 16. He drove truck for Conoco for 15 years and achieved the Million Mile Award.
Perry met his wife, Marlene Roberts, in November of 1965, and after a short courtship of six weeks, they were married on January 1, 1966. The couple resided in Salt Lake City, Utah, and had two children, Perry, Jr. and Lisa Marie. The family also lived in Douglas, Wyoming, for three years and in Roundup, Montana, for two years. They moved to Wibaux in 1981. Perry took medical retirement from Conoco in 1990 and continued mowing lawns and working as a ranch hand in the Wibaux area. Perry always surrounded everyone around him with laughter and smiles. He enjoyed long visits with family and friends and always had a "matter of fact" attitude which was positive, realistic and humorous.
Perry was preceded in death by his parents.
