Larry Perkins Obituary
It is with deep sorrow and love that we announce the passing of our brother, Larry Robert "Bob" Perkins, who passed away Saturday, July 5, 2025, in Toledo, at the age of 64.
Bob was born in Upper Sandusky, and raised in Republic, where he made lifelong memories and friendships.
He was a 1979 graduate of Seneca East High School, where he was known for his athleticism and especially excelled in basketball, a sport he played with great talent and heart.
Bob will be remembered not for starting a fight, but for never backing down from one. His unwavering strength and his deep passion for enjoying life set him apart from others.
He was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Roy and Treva Perkins; maternal grandparents, George and Olive Wagner; his father, Ray Perkins; and his sister, Cheryl Perkins Drumm.
Bob is survived by his siblings, Gary (Jennifer) Perkins of Hilliard, Perry (Patricia) Perkins of Republic, Brian (Kim) Perkins of Greenwich, and Gwen McCoy of Tiffin.
He also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, and extended family members who will remember him fondly. There will be no services at this time, but the family appreciates your thoughts, prayers, and memories as they remember Bob's life and legacy. Though he may be gone from our sight, he will never be gone from our hearts.

Bob was a great guy. We played baseball and basketball together at Seneca East. He could always make you laugh with his quick wit. Sending deepest condolences to Gary, Perry, Brian and Gwen and families. Rest easy my friend.
