1/24/13 - The South Lyon man who died Sunday after being pinned by his pickup truck is being remembered as a community-minded citizen known to many as the South Lyon Santa. 77-year-old Arlan Stone died from the injuries he sustained Sunday morning when he got out of his pickup truck, which was not in park. When he tried to get back in, it rolled forward and pinned him against a light pole. Known as the South Lyon Santa, the Oakland Press says Stone and his wife Julie decorated their yard into a winter wonderland including giant poinsettias and life-sized versions of the Three Wise Men. The couple also managed the Lake Street Apartments for more than 20 years. Stone, a Navy veteran, will be laid to rest at the Great Lakes National Cemetery near Holly with military honors. A private family service was already held. (JK)
