Perry

Winslow – It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Tyrone C. Perry, 83, who passed peacefully at home on November 3, 2026.

Born in Cooperstown, NY, on June 14, 1943, to David and Kathryn Perry, Ty joined the U.S. Marine Corps at 17 and served proudly. He held that service dear, along with the deep respect he had for all who served.

Ty held many different jobs over the years before settling in at Maine General, where he spent more than 30 years as a boiler operator. He was lovingly known as the “Elmer Fudd” look-alike as he made the rounds to the nurses’ stations on his overnight shifts. As his camo wardrobe suggested, Ty was an avid hunter and fisherman, and he loved fishing with his brother Boomer most of all. He spent all his hunting days on the Noyes farm and thought of it as his second home.

Ty was a lifelong biker who owned many motorcycles over the years. His prized possessions were his Harleys, which earned him the nickname “Harley Man” among some of his friends.

He was a lifelong member of the local American Legion, rode with the Legion Riders, and even served as road captain.

Tyrone was predeceased by his loving wife of 35 years, Deborah; his brothers Lavern and David; and his sisters Gail and Kay.

He is survived by his son David Perry and his wife Heather; his grandchildren Daniel and Amiya, who meant the world to him; his nephew Guy Treszi; and his niece Lisa Hamilton. Ty also had many close friends, including Debbie (whom he called his adopted daughter), Jeff, Rebecca, and Michelle.

The Noyes and Ward families were a huge part of his life. Thank you to Lona, Larry, Keith, Mary Lou, Chuck, Cam, Andy, Karen, and everyone on the farm for making him feel at home.

A celebration of life will be held at the Decker-Simmons Legion, 22 Church St., Oakland, on Saturday, November 28, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. All are welcome, and we would love to hear your stories and memories of him.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to your local veterans’ charity or to Disabled American Veterans (DAV). Ty would have been grateful to know we were helping veterans.
