Perry Richard Sinn died after an aggressive illness.
July 13, 1960 – October 15, 2017
Perry was passionate about his family and community. Perry was born at the Paulding County Hospital. He was the fourth of six children born to Don and Juleah (Smith) Sinn. Perry lived in the same town, Latty, and basically the same house, his entire life. He loved Paulding County and especially his life in Latty. He believed with all his heart that he lived a wonderful life in the best place in the world. It seemed to us that he knew everyone and genuinely liked everyone he ever met. He graduated from Wayne Trace High School. For approximately 40 years Perry worked in what became the family business, selling and moving furniture, appliance, and flooring. In the mid 1990’s, he bought Don and Perry’s from his father. He ran the store up until days before he died. It was a major part of his life.
Perry was pleased to serve 25 years in the Latty Ball Association, more than 25 years as a basketball official, and 12 years on the Wayne Trace School Board. He loved attending high school and professional sports. In addition to attending, Perry also enjoyed supporting Wayne Trace High School sports including cooking brats and hamburgers for home football games for 15 years.
Perry loved professional baseball and the Baltimore Orioles in particular. Attending and watching games with family and friends was one of his favorite pastimes. Even when he wasn’t feeling good, he enjoyed watching the games on television.
Perry and his wife, Annette (Hunt), were married 25 years. Together, they raised five children. Those children and their spouses are: Kelly (Sinn) and Jason Detter of Auburn, IN, Joseph and Kirsten (Buop) Sinn of Huntertown, IN, Peter and Ashley (Taylor) Sinn of Antwerp, Hank Sinn attending Oberlin, and his fiancé, Alexis Flores of University of Akron, and Estie Sinn attending Miami University. Perry loved and was proud that all five children would be college graduates.
Perry and Annette enjoyed hosting family parties in the pole building and at their pool. They enjoyed fun family vacations at exciting locations.
