Tommy Clenin (from Cindy’s Facebook post)
From Cindy Gardner on COTH Fb site: For those that haven’t heard, our beloved Tommy Clenin has passed peacefully and painlessly. Today I took food along with a plant and card to his parents’ house. I signed the card from Cricket on the Hill family. Someone chalked this on the sidewalk outside.
I spoke to Tommy’s sister and she is ordering Kiss balloons and planning a balloon release. I’ll keep everyone posted on the date. Tommy is being cremated. She sent me these pics to post. If anyone would like to send anything to his parents or daughter I have the address or you can contact me and I’ll get it to them.
Hug your loved ones if you can.
Zeth Padulla: R.I.P. Tombstone Tommy! Your time with SKULLS will never be forgotten! Too fucking early!!

Other Notable Musicians’ Deaths…
The deaths that are listed from Wikipedia are those of musicians or who have ties to the music business from all over the world. These are our brothers and sisters. It is so sad to see the listing of just “famous people” who have died from COVID-19, not only musicians but other artists, sports figures, politicians, actors, jurists and so many more. Please stay home – keep YOUR names and those of your loved ones from being added to this list.
