Robert “Bob” Wayne Perkins, 87, of Portland, Oregon, and New Canaan, Connecticut, peacefully passed away at home on November 8th after a courageous battle with pulmonary fibrosis. His wife, Gail, of 64 years, was at his side. 

Bob and Gail moved to New Canaan from downtown Portland in October 2020 to be with their two sons, Tod and Cory, and their respective families. Making a home in New Canaan has been an exciting new chapter for them in their retirement years. They have been surrounded by the love and support of their close-knit family while embracing grandchildren’s activities, new friends, and a welcoming community. To the end, Bob drew strength from this support and maintained his marvelous, quick wit, inquisitive mind, and wonderful sense of humor that endeared him to everyone he met. 

Bob was born in the small rural town of Council, Idaho, on September 9, 1936.
