Stanley "Stan, The Man" Lenard passed away peacefully March 26.
He was born Oct. 6, 1940. Stanley was a Vietnam veteran, serving his country as a very proud Marine. During his 1960s tour of duty in the Philippines, he was wounded in battle.

He never complained and was always willing to help others and loved being around people. It was quite common to see him about town on his motorized wheelchair, greeting people and running errands as long as he was able.
Stanley is survived by his loving wife of 28 years, Christina, of Estancia; son Xavier Silva and wife of Belen; stepdaughter Lori Silva of Silver City; sister-in-law Diane Munoz of Estancia; four grandchildren in Belen and Silver City; and a host of friends.
