Myford, 71 of Sarver, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, July 16, at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh.  He was born on May 3, 1947, a son of K.L. and Melda Cribbs Myford.  Tom was a 1965 graduate of Har-Brack High School.  In 1968, he married Darlene (Hilberry) Myford, with whom he recently celebrated 50 years of marriage on June 22^nd.   Tom was a devoted and selfless husband and father who always gave the most sound advice.  He graduated from Point Park University with a Bachelor’s Degree in electrical engineering and was employed by Allegheny Ludlum where he retired after 30 years of dedicated service.  Tom was a faithful member of Cabot United Methodist Church.  In 2003, he was granted a second chance at life when he received the amazing gift of a liver transplant, and he was forever grateful to the donor and family.
