Perry Becker

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Perry Becker, the man behind Perry’s Hobbies. Perry started the hobby business in 1966, which grew to include his brother Jim in the early years and later nephew Paul.

We are extremely grateful to all those that supported Perry’s Hobbies over the many years. He grew to know many of you as friends, sharing railroading knowledge, trips, memories, and life stories. Click here to view Perry's full Obituary.

We've known for quite some time that we have some of the best customers and friends out there. This has been proven to us even more each day since Perry's passing. All of the well wishes, condolences and wonderful stories that so many of you have shared with our family has meant SO much to all of us. Words can't express how grateful we are to each of you. Please know that when we say thank you, there are many, MANY other words of gratitude, love, emotions and appreciation to all of you that have helped us through this difficult time. So, THANK YOU from the entire Becker family.
