As many of you have heard UTM men’s basketball Coach Anthony Stewart passed away this Sunday afternoon. We are all saddened by this news.

I interviewed him a couple of years ago and he gave me a heart wrenching 20 minutes of his life story and how as a young person, with the encouragement of one individual, he turned his life around.

What you have seen in Coach Stewart was a man who truly cared deeply about people.

I’m reminded of one important thing he said on that Saturday morning Coaches Corner interview... “always try to help others.”

In my talks with him his demeanor and his attitude always remained positive and encouraging.

Coach Stewart’s influence and his legacy will be forever lasting.

Those who knew him have lost a wonderful friend. Those who only casually knew him so a smile on his face.

I am blessed to have gotten to know the man better than the coach.

Today his wife and children will need your prayers and your love more than any other time. 

Thanks Coach Stewart for being such a wonderfully encouraging person and for always “trying to help others.“

You touched my life thousands more.

Paul Tinkle, President

“Happy birthday” to the late Harry Gorman. Mr. Harry or “Radio Harry” as he was known to many would’ve been 94 November 3, 2020.

He served in the United States Navy, came to Union City and owned and operated Libby’s Dress Shop until he retired. That lasted only a few months when he said he wanted to work as a marketing rep for us.

He worked for Thunderbolt Broadcasting from January 2000 to until his retirement in December 2009. (His daughter Sherry Gorman passed away November 2, 2020 one day shy of her father’s birthday.)

Mr. Gorman is pictured here with Paul (L) and Jordan Tinkle in December of 2000 when Thunderbolt celebrated his 80th birthday. Always a sharp dresser Harry Gorman’s love for God, family and patriotism never faltered.
