Thomas Henry Perdue

I had the privilege of meeting Tom in my freshman year at OSU. He was always focused on improving his multiple athletic skills, and was a terrific inspirational leader for me and other members of the team. The world and OSU alumni have lost a very great and good man. May the good Lord welcome you to your final home...

I sure miss Tom and especially the sports that we played together, we played all summer even, usually in someone's side yard. Tom was the best in most sports that we played but he was such a good sport. I remember us playing in the 4th. 5th. and 6th. grades in the old white house yard, it was later tore down for the new high school, now Vinson Middle School. Even Tom's Father Henery would often join in a pick-up game of basket ball. I sure miss all of the good old times we had together. Steve...

Tom was my next door neighbor and my idol at an early age.His brother Rick and I played some sport everyday.The Perdues were always nice to me and it broke my heart when they moved.Tom was one hell of a football and baseball player.He never failed to teach me and Rick what he knew.

Prayers and condolences from Elsie Perkey and family.

Wonderful memories of Tom. Was good friends with my brother Jerry playing for the Vinson Tigers and winning Class B one year and Class A the next. Exciting times. RIP Tom. Many prayers for the family.

I remember "Tom the Horse " very well. Sorry that he's gone.

Tom was one of my hero's in Huntington when I was growing up. I remember they called him Tom "the Horse" Perdue. I followed his days at Ohio State. I was a player at Barboursville against his Vinson team when he Coached there. I met him in the 80's and had several conversations when him.. most of which consisted of our relationship with Jesus Christ. I am proud to say that I knew him as well as many of his family members. We lost a 'GIANT'. He will be missed.

When I was 12yo I met Tommy for the first time. We met before a game at St. Cloud's on a little league field well before any other guys arrived. Even though we both were shy boys, we found it so easy to talk with each other. My memory tells me that my team won. Nonetheless, that was the only time we ever competed against each other. This is just a small memory that I have never shared. God bless Tom and Terry and may He bring comfort to the many members of the Perdue family.

Remembering high school days...lots of good memories. May God comfort the family during these difficult days and bring His peace.
