We were so saddened to hear the news of Stan's passing. He was a fun guy, always had a smile on his face, and always a gentleman. Stan and I have shared many dances at the Lariat and I pray that he's still dancing to a great country band in heaven. And Stan... Thank you for serving our country and sharing in our lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
