In 1953, Perry married Georgia May Brown and they raised two children, Cathy and Michael. Military life led them to different places to live, including Germany and Japan. During his distinguished military career, Perry did one tour of Korea and two of Vietnam. After retiring from the military, he attended Central Missouri State University where he graduated with a Master's degree in aviation. Following University, Perry worked as a Quality Control Engineer of F-16 Fighter Jets at General Dynamics in Ft Worth, Texas.
