Mr. Thomas "Tommy" L. Bedford, a Florence resident and formerly of Cordova, KY, passed away at St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Ft. Thomas on Wednesday, June 3, 2020 at the age of 85.

Mr. Bedford was the son of the late Orville and Edith Beagle Bedford.  He was an Army veteran, a member of the Walton American Legion Post and  the Mt. Pleasant Church of Christ.  Tommy grew up farming with his family and later became a line-worker for Wiedemann's Brewing.  He was the owner and operator for 26 years of the Ambassador Carriage Co.  He dearly loved his horses and horse pulling competitions.  He accomplished one of his dreams by attending the National Horse Pulling Championship in Florida. He loved UK Basketball and Cincinnati Reds.  More than anything, he adored his grandchildren and loved spending time with them.
