Perry R. Van Engen

Perry R. Van Engen, age 67, of Sheboygan passed away unexpectedly on June 3, 2024, at Aurora Medical Center in Grafton.

Perry enjoyed working on motorcycles, going fishing, collecting Hot Wheels and making fishing lures. Riding motorcycles and going to the races with his brothers was a favorite pastime.
