Sad word of tragic death of Tom McClendon

From Larry Smith, 99.9 the Big Dawg

Both Russell and Taylor Counties are in mourning at the tragic loss of Tom McClendon, 63, a friend who worked in the area radio industry, and a really good man. He was on his way home to Russell County from Lexington when he was hit head on in Casey County.

Tom started working for Russell Springs radio owners Welby and May Hoover as a teenager while in high school. He worked during college in radio in Bowling Green and then at Q104 in Campbellsville as morning man for years.

Since his retirement from Q104, he has been in charge of Taylor County's July fourth balloon celebration, participating on the board of the state's largest July Fourth parade. He will be missed by so many.
