I am Allen and Ruth Arledge’s only daughter. Talmadge was a faithful friend to both of my parents, throughout. I thank him for that. His loss is great, because he kept his promises made to my deceased father and looked after my mother up to the day he died. We will miss his laughter and his smile.
Love to his family,
Lynn
We are so sorry for you loss. We will keep you and your family in our prayers
May you be comforted and know that he is in a better place. Talmadge was a terrific person and will be never be forgotten. ‘Fairview 76’ is what comes to mind when I think of him. He really enjoyed running that station. Take care,
Family and friends of Talmadge–
Talmadge did a lot of work for my
late husband, Grover Lee Rhodes.
He was a good friend to both of us.
Blessings and peace, Betty Nelon
