James F. \u201cTunney\u201d Hamlin was 85. The Corbin native, who graduated from Corbin High School in 1950, was the owner-operator of Hamlin Supermarket and one of the founders of Hamlin and Kersey Appliances on South Main Street. \u201cHe was the \u2018Hamlin\u2019 in \u2018Hamlin and Kersey,\u2019\u201d said Tina Hamlin Kersey, Hamlin\u2019s daughter. In addition, Hamlin was involved in the development of Tattersall, Forest Hills and Barton Mill. When asked where the nickname, \u201cTunney,\u201d came from, neither Tina, nor her brother, Barry, knew where it originated. \u201cI wish we did,\u201d Barry said. &nbsp; When his children asked Hamlin about the nickname, Tina said Hamlin told them even he didn\u2019t know where it started, but that it had been his nickname for as long as he could remember. Tina added that Hamlin\u2019s eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren all called him, \u201cTunney.\u201d \u201cWhen he was in the hospital, we told the nurses, \u2018Don\u2019t call him, \u201cJames,\u201d because he won\u2019t respond.\u2019\u201d &nbsp; \u201cEveryone calls him \u2018Tunney,\u2019\u201d Tina Hamlin said. Tunney Hamlin is survived by his ife, Pat Hamlin; children; Sharon Owens, Tina Kersey and husband Andy, Barry Hamlin and wife Annette. Tunney Hamlin\u2019s funeral will be at 2 p.m. Saturday at Immanuel Baptist Church in Corbin. Burial will follow at the Worley Cemetery in Corbin.
