Ivan Perkins, restaurant founder
Ivan P. Perkins, co-founder of Perkins family restaurants, was a colorful, innovative businessman who encouraged independence, his family recalled.
Mr. Perkins, 83, of Kenwood, died Wednesday.
Mr. Perkins and his brother, Matthew, founded the restaurant chain in 1958. Two years later they began franchising the restaurants by selling the name for use across the nation. The brothers later sold the restaurant chain, which is now based in Memphis, Tenn.
Today, the Perkins chain includes 462 restaurants in 32 states.
Mr. Perkins encouraged his family to be independent. "He always wanted us to go out and make it on our own," recalled a daughter, Helen Follmer.
Mr. Perkins founded the Perkins Bakery in Silverton in 1948 and sold packaged mixes for cakes, pie crusts, biscuits and pancakes in grocery stores under the Perkins name.
He also developed a process for freezing fresh bakery goods for transport to other stores.
Mr. Perkins was born in Fraser, Colo. and moved to Alaska in the 1930s to supervise kitchens at a gold mine. During World War II, he worked in Covington, Ky., as the superintendent of a commercial bakery.
He served as a member of Silverton City Council in the 1950s.
