Stanley Steamer was our friend and hero. He will not be forgotten. He made us the best Texas burgers and made us laugh. He was a kind sweet gentleman and never met a stranger. God bless his wife and family and may you find comfort that he is now in the presence of the Lord.

Sarge was a hero for a lot of different reasons, from a D-Day survivor who served in two more conflicts to being a man you could count on any situation. Truly a member of the greatest generation, we won't soon see his kind again. God Speed Sarge.
