Philip Perlman, age 82, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grand-father died with his family by his side, March 25, 2002.
He was born March 15, 1920 and was raised in Provo, UT, the son of Sam and Anne Perlman. Married Miriam Pepper, Sept. 1, 1940.
Phil loved people and will be remembered for his resonating voice and strong opinions. He cherished the times he spent at Riverside Country Club as a founding member. He was proud of his family business, Provo Hide & Fur, and was grateful for his second career with Central Bank & Trust.
He loved his community involvement; ranging from a Provo City Council Member, President of the Salt Lake City Jewish Community Center, to his over 50 year membership with the Masons. Phil had great passion for the U of U. He was a Charter Board Member of the Crimson Club. He and Miriam established the Perlman Award to honor excellence in student advising.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Miriam; daughters, Nancy White (Clifford), Susan Robinson (Edward), and son, Michael Perlman (Patricia); his grandchildren, Allyson, David, Jeffery, Gregory, and Melissa; and five great-grandchildren.
The family wishes to extend heartfelt thanks to family and friends for their expressions of love and support over this past year and a half. Special thanks to Steve Booth and the loving staff at the CareSource Center.
Graveside services are planned for Wednesday, March 27, 2002, 3:00 p.m. at the Montefiore Cemetery, 4th Avenue and P Street.
