I worked with Staton when he was in Law Enforcement. He was a great officer and family man, and friend. I am very sorry to here of his passing. My condolences to Ann and the rest of the family.

I first met Staton in 1965 when we both started to work for the old B & M Sign Company on the same day. In later years we painted countless signs together until the computers took over and changed the entire course of the sign business. I'm going to miss his dropping in the shop and "catching up". He truly was one of a kind. May the Lord be with Ann and Billy and the rest of the family at this time of grief. God bless.
