Frank Perri Obituary

Frank Robert Perri (Spike), age 85, passed away peacefully at his home in North Carolina on August 19, 2024 surrounded by his family. Born in 1938 in Groveland, Massachusetts, Frank lived a life full of love, passion, and dedication.

A man of many talents, Frank had a lifelong passion for refurbishing old cars, a hobby that brought him great joy and satisfaction. He was particularly proud of the vehicles he restored, each one a testament to his skill and love for the craft. His love for tinkering extended beyond cars to his home, where he was known as a skilled handyman who could fix almost anything.

In his professional life, Frank was the president of A-Z Precast Concrete in St. Petersburg, Florida, where he served from 1991 until his retirement in 2006. His leadership and commitment to excellence left a lasting impact on the company and those he worked with.

As per Frank's request no services will be held. Instead of flowers, Frank would want you to pay it forward.

He is survived by his wife, Tracy, his sons, Andy (Eva Perri) and Jared Perri, his daughters, Penni Perri (Ted Lothstein) and Laura (Jim Ellis), his sister, Athea Ring, and his grandchildren. Frank was predeceased by his mother, Edna Perri (née Goodridge), his father, Frank B. Perri, and his sisters, Pauline Jensen and Roberta Perri.

Frank cherished the time he spent with his extended and immediate family and friends, always placing them at the center of his life. His warmth, kindness, and love for those around him will be deeply missed.
