This is a black granite bench placed alongside one of the walkways through the Oklahoma Territorial Plaza. It is dedicated to Harold Allan "Puddin" Payne (8/16/1961 - 10/8/2017)

[Excerpt from funeral home obituary] "Harold was born August 16, 1961 in Stillwater, OK, to Nathan and Margene (Tate) Payne. He grew up in Perkins and graduated from Perkins-Tryon High School in 1979. He met and married Alana Stanton on August 10, 1988 in Norman, OK.

Puddin was a member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. He earned the title of P.R.C.A. Calf Roping Rookie of the year in 1984. He had many winnings at some Big Rodeos such as, Calgary Stampede, Houston, Lewiston, and others across the Nation. He proudly served the Stillwater Fire Department as a Fire Fighter II and Driver for 24 years. One of Puddin’s greatest joys came from watching every single one of his daughter’s basketball games starting with their elementary years through college. He spent countless hours out in the arena teaching his girls about riding and breaking horses, and watching his wife and daughters barrel race. Puddin was a master griller, avid pond fisherman, and deer hunter. He was known to pull pranks and everyone loved to hear his famous Puddin cackle laugh. He will be deeply missed by his friends, family, fire department brothers, and all who knew him."
