I would like to extend my condolences to the family. Death is never something we get use to. But know during this time you are not alone. Our Creator promises better days ahead. He will give you the strength needed to get through this difficult time.

I believe Tommy was with the Coeburn Rescue Squad when my Dad, D. O. Stallard, was taken to Johnston Memorial Hospital, where he died of a heart attack the next morning. I only saw him a few years back at an anniversary party for his and my friends, Chloe and Elmer Lewis. Praying for his surviving family.
