Perry Richard Rusk

October 6, 1926 — February 2, 2018

Perry Richard "Junie" Rusk passed away on Friday, February 2, 2018. He was a railroader for 43 years with K&ITRR and Norfolk Southern, a sailor, a WWII Veteran, and a wonderful husband and father.

He is preceded in death by two sisters, Vada Stucky and Virginia Townsend; and two brothers, Roy Rusk and Clarence Rusk. He is survived by his wife of 71 years, Betty Marie Ebling Rusk; daughter, Karen Rusk Minsterketter; and son, Rick Rusk (Susie); three grandchildren, Traci, Michael, and Lindsay; and seven great-grandchildren, Karli, Hali, Kimberli, Jacob, Hannah, Dillon, and Sophia.
