Hello Alumni Members,
I apologize this notification was not send sooner, this has been extremely hard on many of us that knew Stan so well.
We have lost a wonderful friend, devoted volunteer, and a Texas CPAAA board member.
Stan Appleton passed away November 5 after complication from heart surgery.
Stan was serving as the current Treasurer of the Texas Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association. Stan graduated from the Garland CPA Class# 2 in 1993 and was one of the early members who helped establish the GCPAAA twenty-six years ago. Stan was instrumental in achieving the 501(c)(3) status for the Garland Alumni and many other Associations. He has served as Treasurer of the GCPAAA and continued to serve as an advisor to the board helping with their financial audits. Stan was always cheerful and willing to serve in all capacities. Even after relocating from Garland to Canton Texas he continued to be an active part of the Garland Alumni participating in monthly board and general meetings. He also served with other non-profits such as Garland Fire Club and the TxDPS Region 1 Alumni. His many years of service and dedication is viewed with admiration and his dedication and presence will be missed by many.
Please keep Stan's wife and family in your prayers.
Forever in our hearts
On behalf of the Texas CPAAA BOD
