Kidd, Ronald Edward, of Tullahoma, died Thursday, September 6th,
2018 at his residence at the age of 81. He was born April 27th, 1937 in
Bastian, Virginia to the late Thurman and Nora Dunn Kidd. A 1954 graduate
of Bland County High School, he served in the United States Air Force
before going to work in the uniform and linen rental business. His career
took him from Virginia to North Carolina to Nashville before he came to
Tullahoma in 1968 to start a new company, Mid-South Uniform Service, Inc.
He worked side by side with his employees to build the business and
believed in the values of hard work and taking good care of his
customers. Mr. Kidd was quietly generous in lending a helping hand to
many people over the years. He loved gospel music and always enjoyed a
good argument. He was also a former member of numerous civic
organizations, including the Tullahoma Kiwanis Club, the American Legion
Post 43, and the Chamber of Commerce. In addition to his parents, Mr.
Kidd was preceded in death by one brother, Willard; and one son, Tim. He
