    Tragic and Brutal. Stan seems like such a cool guy. Huge prayers to him and his family. I canā€™t imagine how awful going through that would be.

    That is just awful. I wouldn’t blame him if he ends up stepping away from broadcasting for a while

    Jesus, 61 is still so young. Condolences to her family and friends. May she rest in peace.

    There were reports floating around a few days ago that she had taken her own life. Tragic news. My parents are in the same age range and I would fall apart if I lost either of them.

    What a tragedy. I hope he and his family are able to find peace and eventually look back at all the great moments instead of the bitterness of losing a loved one too soon. RIP.
