RACINE – Otto Matthew Perman, 84, was lifted home peacefully by the angels on Sunday, July 16, 2006, from All Saints-St. Mary's Medical Center. He faced a tough road of illness over the past eight months with determination and a precious smile on his face.
Otto was born in Wishek, North Dakota, on December 10, 1921, to the late Gustave and Lydia (nee: Boschee) Perman. After moving to Chicago, Illinois, the family came to the Somers/Racine area in 1932, where he became a permanent resident. On February 19, 1949, in St. Sebastian Catholic Church, he was united in marriage to the love of his life, Grace M. Braun. Otto faithfully served our country with the United States Army in World War II from 1941until 1944. Following marriage, he went to work for Eisendrath Tannery for 19 years. However, Otto was fondly employed at Spee-Dee Packaging machinery Incorporated from where he retired on May 27, 1999, after 32 years of service. Otto was a longtime member of St. Sebastian Catholic Church, the Holy Name Society, and the Mount Pleasant Schafskopf Club. Among his interests, he enjoyed bowling three times a week; was an avid fisherman; Sunday rides with his family; going out to eat; his daily trips to Spee-Dee to visit with his buddies; and never, never missing any of his granddaughters sporting events. Otto will be especially remembered for his loving gentleness, positive attitude, sense of humor, and for his famous saying, "I may be short, but I'm sure good rooking'". May he rest in peace.
Otto is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Grace; daughters, Judith (Peter) Stockton of Cedarburg and Susan (Lyle) Tryba of Racine; grandson, Jason Smith of Madison; granddaughters, Ashley and Allison Tryba; sisters, Adeline Garner and Evelyn (Bernie) Loughan; brother, Raymond (Delores) Perman; sisters-in-law, Katherine Perman and Gertrude Greene; brother-in-law, John (Meme) Braun, all of Racine; and by many special nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends. In addition to his parents, Otto was preceded in death by his brothers August and Gottlieb; and by brothers-in-law, Emmette Greene and Tony Garner.
Memorial services will be celebrated in the funeral home, 4600 County Line Road, on Friday, July 21, 2006, at 7 p.m. with Reverend James Kendzierski OFM officiating. In accordance with Otto's wishes, cremation will take place in Holy Cross Cemetery Mausoleum at a later date. There will be time to visit with the family in the funeral home on Friday from 5 until 7 p.m. In memory of Otto, memorials to the ARC of Racine or to St. Sebastian Parish have been suggested. Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home & Crematorium, 4600 County Line road.
