September 16, 1956 - July 8, 2022
Larry entered into lasting peace on July the 8th 2022.
Larry was Welcomed in to this world on September 16th,1956, along with his twin little sister to his parents Emeline Annette (Becker)Perucca and Lawrence John Perucca Sr. Larry was the most cherished brother to 5 sisters!! When Larry was a little older he moved was living in San Jose, California where he met and married his loving wife of 44 years Cheryl Lynn Perucca. Larry has been an extremely devoted loving father to his 3 daughters, Jamie Perucca, and her children that were lucky to have two titles from Larry (papa, father figure), Angelina Nixon (husband Jay Nixon) and then his son Larry Perucca the 3rd(wife Sharla Perucca) and his daughter Michelle Mitchell (husband Sammie Mitchell). Larry was such a devoted, loving, and FUN Grandfather aka PAPA..HE loved to play tricks on his grandchildren also with teaching them skills, like gun safety and dirt bike riding.
He is survived by grandchildren, Samantha, Jason and Natalie; Austin, Alexis, Andrew and Alijah; Larry the 4th, Michael and Daniel. Levi, SJ(Sam jr) and Jaxon. He is also survived by a host of nephew and nieces whom all got a taste of his humor, yet still greatly respected and loved him greatly.
Larry started this world as a mechanical genius. What others went to school for four years and still didn't quite get he achieved quite naturally and astonished others. Larry acquired a job at Toscano bakery San Jose, CA. where he started out as a mechanic but soon ended up in the engineering department. From there Larry moved to Galt California with his wife and children. After working at Toscano, Larry went to work Parisian bakery in San Francisco where he was an engineer for many years and was even promoted to assistant chief . After the closing of Parisian San Francisco, Larry went to work at Columbus bakery in Oakland where he remained until his retirement In 2012. But during his years as an engineer, even designed fabricated and installed a whole conveyor system that went from the oven all around the top of the building to one end of the building and back to cool the bread down and back to the bagging department. It was quite something!!! The words that Larry will be extremely missed are not big enough.
