Obituary of Larry Perna

STONY CREEK: Lawrence “Larry” Perna, 59, passed away suddenly in his sleep on November 16th, 2022.

Larry was born on August 14th, 1963 to the late Angelo and Carmela Perna in Point Pleasant, NJ. After graduating from Jackson High School in 1981, he went right into the work force.

Larry constantly honed his profession as an Automotive Collision Specialist and was determined to provide for his family and give them the life he felt they deserved. In addition to the collision industry, he was an accomplished truck driver, equipment operator and chef at his business The Stony Creek Market. He would drop everything to help his family and friends that meant more to him than anything else in the world. If you needed help you knew you could always count on him.

Larry was always busy if he wasn’t in the garage working on cars, he could be found playing billiards, riding his beloved blue Harley, or helping his friends from the local country store, and local biker clubs.

Anyone who knew Larry knew that he was the most loving father anyone could ask for.

In addition to his parents Larry was predeceased by his brother Angelo.

He is survived by a daughter Emma, of Indian Lake; a son Larry of Stony Creek; grandson Orion of Stony Creek; brother Andy (Karen) of Laurel; brother Bill (Diane) of Greenwich;  brother Jack and his fiancé Heidi of Gainesville; and sister-in-law Joyce of Toms River.  

Larry will also be incredibly missed by his many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends that he called his extended family.    

Friends may call on Larry’s family from 2pm – 4pm, Saturday, December 3, 2022, at the Alexander Funeral Home, 3809 Main Street, Warrensburg. A Celebration of Life will be conducted at 4pm.
