Lila Scroggins says her husband took Tommy’s BBQ with him when he left this world.
“He loved it so much I think he just took it with him,” she said.
Tommy Scroggins , 86, of Blossom, died Sunday morning at his home where his wife, Lila, a registered nurse, had been taking care of him for several years with the help of home health and during the last few weeks, the help of hospice.
Tuesday night Tommy’s BBQ — now The Tamale Hut — burned, probably beyond repair. Was it a coincidence? Most likely.
I first learned of the fire on Facebook from the following post by Kristin Carson:
“So sad to see what was known to me my whole life as Tommy’s BBQ burning. The wonderful volunteers from Reno Volunteer Fire Department as well as Blossom VFD are fighting hard as we speak to save it. So many childhood memories in that place.”
Tommy and Lila came to Paris in the 1980s from Oklahoma City where Tommy was a cattle buyer and musician, and for a time had his own radio show.
The Scroggins bought land in Reno, I believe before the red light was a landmark. He first put a trailer on the place to sell barbecue, sort of a test run to see how Tommy’s special style of barbeque would sell in Paris, Lila said Wednesday afternoon.
“It was a success so he built the little restaurant and how he did love the place,” she said.
He also built a bandstand toward the back of the property and held country music jam sessions. Musicians would came to play and fans brought lawn chairs and enjoyed the music.
Tommy could tell stories about his days in the music business for hours and had about 100 photos of music stars and autographs inside the small restaurant.
Holly Bond built a music store and recording studio about the same time Tommy began his barbecue business.
“Barbecue and music,” Bond said. “He came to the music store and said people had told him that he wouldn’t stay. We both stayed.”
A friend of mine who responded to a Facebook request and asked not to be identified, is extremely frightened of birds. She tells the story of going to the Scroggins home for the first time. She rounded the corner at the back of the house where she ran into a flock of fake geese near a backyard pond.
“I don’t bother to check to see if they are alive or what, and take off running and slipped and slid around the house until I could get my wits about me. Tommy laughed and never forgot it — or let me forget it.”
Molly McMillan Woodall said Tommy always made people feel welcome.
“He’d come from behind the counter to speak to you and normally had a good story to tell,” she said.
Melanie Day Keisler said she remembers the $1 sandwiches.
“Tommy was a sweetheart,” she said.
Lesa Brockinton Bulls remembers his fried bologna and hot links.
David Bradshaw, former columnist for The Paris News, and quite a story teller himself, said Tommy’s BBQ place “was one of the best.”
“I went often, always with the feeling that I was being served by people who knew what I really wanted,” Bradshaw said. “I wanted good BBQ, good fried okra and a bowl of pinto beans, cooked from scratch every day. I was never disappointed. I mourn the loss of this icon of our community. I’ve got a theory of why God called him home — the Lord loved what he gave to us.”
Family visitation is from 6-7 p.m. tonight at Fry & Gibbs Funeral Home with funeral services scheduled for 2 p.m. on Friday.
