Our Condolences, Thoughts And Prayer To The Stanley Family. Joe And I worked together at Nwa for many years, shared good times and bad. Thank You Joe For Yor Service. Gods Speed My Friend.
I’m sad to hear of the passing of Joe Stanley. He was not only my friend, but an outstanding crew partner for many years at NWA. I knew I could always count on him in the good times and the bad ones. We shared many hours talking about life and the challenges it presents. Joe sure helped me through some difficult times and I will be forever grateful. He was a person of character and also served his country wiyh honor as a United States Marine. It was also my pleasure to know his family and to coach his son Alex during his high school football career. Due to my work, as a broadcaster for the Memphis Tigers, I will be traveling this weekend and unable to attend his services. Joe and his family will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers. RIP Joe well done my friend. ðŸ™
He was a great guy!always fun to be around! He will be missed!
My heart goes out to Joe's family. I worked with him at NWA for 15 years and consider him a close friend. He will be missed.
