Algie served in the Navy during the Korean War and afterwards pursued his career with the IRS as a taxation auditor, retiring after 26 years of service. Always having strong beliefs in giving back to the community, he represented the Kazim Shriners of Roanoke and supported many programs to enrich the lives of children in need. Algie was an animal lover who advocated for pet adoptions, volunteering at the Bedford Co. SPCA, focusing on older animals that deserved a "second chance" at the good life. As a longstanding Board Member of the Freemasons in Roanoke VA, and a member of the cannon brigade in the Sons of Confederate, Algie participated in numerous reenactments along the East Coast. Volunteering at the Elks Home brought him close to his love of the Peaks of Otter. As an avid outdoorsman he hunted numerous areas of the national forest as well as hunting trips to Wyoming and Montana. All in all a genuine person who preferred to look for the good in everyone and consistently strived to lead by example. Paw will be interred alongside his wife, Sue Ellen and son, Raymond Thomas Perdue in Evergreen Burial Park.2 He was buried at Evergreen Burial Park, 1307 Summit Ave SW, Roanoke, Virginia.2 He was born on May 13, 1933 at Bluefield, Mercer Co., West Virginia.2,1 He married Ellen Sue Foster, daughter of Raymond Napoleon Foster and Iva Golda Poff, on February 16, 1957 at Roanoke, Virginia.3,1,2 Thomas Algie Perdue died on January 25, 2025 at Virginia at age 91.2
