Mr. Richard Harmon Stockman, Sr. passed away at his home in Tallulah, Louisiana, Sunday, February 5, 2023, at the age of 88. He was born on March 4, 1934, in Jasper County, Mississippi, to Samuel Sylvester and Sarah Nevada Madlin Stockman. The first job Harmon had, he walked two miles to plow for a neighbor at the age of 9. His wages were 50 cents a week! Harmon grew up working very hard. Later, he served in the U.S. Army during the Korean conflict as a sniper. After that, he moved to Mobile, Alabama to work at International Paper Mill. Harmon has had multiple jobs including owning a business for years. When he inherited a farm and moved to Tallulah, his main purpose in life was doing AA work. He helped several people in numerous ways from giving them a place to stay, a job, or a ride. His heart’s desire was to help people with addiction problems. He even went to the prison with AA meetings every Wednesday for years. He served in every service position in AA, traveling miles to support his AA group and doing AA telephone work. Harmon would say he had the chance to live two lives in his lifetime; however, he loved his AA life the best. He found his maker in the program and tried his best to please Him everyday. Sunday mornings with Charles Stanley was a must!

Harmon is preceded in death by his former wife of 27 years and the mother of his children, Betty Waldrup Stockman; son, Richard Stockman, Jr.; sisters, Eletta Stockman and Geneva Culpepper; brothers, Samuel Stockman and Roy Stockman; and two nephews.

Survivors include his daughters, Cindy Tucker, Ginger Brown, and Shannon McCormick; eight grandchildren; and a host of great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
