Not sure what to say?

Dr Stanton was a giant of a man and surgeon. He was highly respected, had a soft tone, was always patient and was a gifted surgeon. I had the pleasure of being one of his residents at ETSU. I know he will be missed by his family and community. Rest in peace, Dr Stanton!

Dr. Stanton saved my life in more ways than one. He didn´t give up on me and the life I have today is a direct result of the love, compassion and mentorship I received from Dr. Stanton. I will always love him and the world became a little sadder place on March 5. Thanks Dr. Stanton.

What a Giant of an individual!!! Difficult to find words to express my gratitude for having known President Stanton- Becky Copeland
