A generous gentleman, Clyde E. Perkins was more than hard working and passionate. A visionary who saw the importance in giving-back, Clyde’s selflessness and generosity not only impacted rural Morrow County and the state of Ohio, but branched through multiple generations of family, friends, employees and acquaintances. A dedicated mentor to many and loving husband, father and grandfather, Clyde passed away Tuesday, November 25, 2014 in Ohio Health MedCentral Hospital following an extended illness. He was 89.
He was born March 2, 1925 in Dye, Virginia to the late Willard I. and Dora Pearl (Dye) Perkins. As a young boy he moved to Morrow County and grew up on his family’s farm. Clyde was graduated from Sparta High School. Following graduation, Clyde served during WWII as a bombardier in the Army Air Corp.
On August 7, 1964 he married Jeanette Blanton with whom he celebrated over 50 years of marriage.
He first worked as a cost accountant for HPM in Mt. Gilead.
A farmer at heart, Clyde then began operating, Clyde Perkins Agra Service, servicing farms in Morrow County and the surrounding counties. In 1975 the business began operating as Ohio Farm Systems Inc, which is currently operated by his son.
Successful due to hard work and sacrifice, Clyde was always busy. In operating his business, assisting families with tax preparation, serving on numerous community boards, or acting as a mentor, Clyde invested in people and fostered those relationships.
A patriarch, Clyde’s family came first. He was a member of Pleasant Grove Church of Christ where he served as deacon and treasurer.
He is survived by his loving wife Jeanette Perkins of Mansfield, two children Linda S. and Rich Worley of Mt. Gilead, Gary D. Perkins of Mansfield; four grandsons and their spouses Ross E. and Ashley Linscott of Sunbury, Justin T. and Alice Linscott of Powell, Adam D. and Shelby Perkins of Mt. Gilead, Andy D. and Jessica Perkins of Mt. Gilead; two step children David E. and Nancy Hankins of Arizona and Gary A. Hankins of Sidney; and numerous great grandchildren.
