Robert John PETRY
(20 Jan 1927 - 5 Mar 2003)
From Terri (Petry) Thomas:
Dad died of a heart attack, and went suddenly. Going fast was a blessing, going at all was a true blow. We were extremely close. I miss him.
Dad was a 50 year plumber. He was a partner in One Co. in Phoenix and supervisor for a crew of 14 in Medford. He was good and did very well. He had a private pilots license since 1975 and enjoyed flying very much! He was also a great gardener! Loved tomatoes particularly! He loved cats. He had two indoor and many outdoor! He died on his way to feed them.
Dad's first wife was Patricia.
Second wife, Ethel Colby (my mother)
Third wife (never married) of 24 years was Barbetta Shallenberger.
