Body

Perry died Jan. 15, 2020, in Lakewood, N.J. A lifelong New Jersey resident, he lived in Brielle and Spring Lake Heights, moving to Lakewood 18 years ago. He was a physician and radiologist, the founding member of Jersey Shore Radiology Associates in Neptune, N.J.

Perry came to Princeton from Passaic High School. He majored in psychology and joined Key and Seal Club. After graduation he attended the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, specializing in radiology and nuclear medicine. Following his residency in radiology in two New York hospitals, Perry had a two-year tour of duty in the Navy, ending up at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Chelsea, Mass., where he served as second in command of the radiology department.

Perry came back to New Jersey and entered practice as a radiologist, his specialty during the next 35-plus years. He retired in 1990 and reported that he enjoyed “living in the present,  and looking forward to the future.”

His wife, Sally, predeceased him. He is survived by his four daughters, Robin, Laura, Lisa ’85, and Susanna, and his stepson, Andrew Stemmermann. Our condolences go to all of them.
