Perry Slade Innis ’42

Body

Slade died July 10, 1998, in San Francisco, where he had lived for many years. He retired from the ministry after 18 years of service and had enjoyed a second career with a local law firm until shortly before his death.

Slade joined the class from Garfield H.S. in Seattle and left before graduation. He spent 31 months in the Navy during WWII, serving in the Pacific theater, with the final rank of lieutenant (jg). After the war, he returned to Seattle and, following a brief career in hardware retailing, earned his BD at Andover, Newton Theological School, before becoming minister of Amicable Congregational Church in Tiverton, R.I.

To his widow, Hilda, and to his daughter, Janet, the class offers its sincere condolences.
