GREENE — Steve Perry, 67, of Greene passed away Monday, Sept. 17, at his home with his wife, Cheryl, by his side after a battle with cancer.

Steve was born in Lake Placid, N.Y., Sept. 15, 1951, the son of Roger and Jeannette (Pettruce) Perry. He graduated from Lake Placid Central High School. On May 16, 1981, he married Cheryl Barney, daughter of Hoover and Joyce Barney. Steve had a love for creating custom furniture, doing road trips with friends on his Harley and taking his best friend, Maggie, his Boxer, for rides with him on his Harley.

Steve served 20 years in the United States Navy. He served on the USS Intrepid from 1972 to 1975.

After retiring from the Navy, Steve was employed at Woodworkers Warehouse. He later started working for Central Maine Cabinetry where he did what he loved most — build unique and beautiful cabinets.

Steve is survived by his wife, Cheryl (Barney) Perry; his sister, Cathy Pelkey, of Florida; and several nieces and nephews.
