David Clayton Perry 67, entered into rest on Sunday, April 8, 2012 at Doctor's Hospital in Manteca. He was born November 4, 1944 in Alameda, CA.

He leaves behind his loving wife of 47 years Mary Ann Perry, as well as his daughter Sherry Perry Hylton and son-in-law Joseph Hylton. He was blessed with one grandbaby, Joelle Hylton. He leaves also mother-in-law, Reba Turnbull. David has one surviving sister-in-law, Ellen Turnbull.

David was a resident of Escalon where he lived with wife Mary. He thoroughly enjoyed spending time with their many cats, dogs, and horses. Nothing pleased him more than cooking a large meal and have the family gather around to enjoy it. He loved his wife and family more than words can express. He was known for his generosity and thoughtfulness. One of his favorite things to do was to brag about and show off pictures of his granddaughters' riding accomplishments. His hobbies included taking his mother-in-law, Reba Turnbull, to Jackson on weekends to do a little a gambling. Over the years his other hobbies included old antique cars and trucks, slot machines, coin and dollar collecting, remote control cars and planes, and riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle.

He was truly a great man and will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

Arrangements for Mr. Perry are under the direction of P.L. Fry and Son Funeral Home, 290 North Union Road, Manteca. A Celebration of Life will be on Friday, April 13, 2012 at 11:30 am at P.L.
