My deepest sympathy to Scotty’s family and huge circle of friends. He was a noble example what the fellowship means to people. He helped many, many members of the “friends of Bill”. He will be greatly missed.
To Scotty and family- I hope you are at the Here After Group with Richie B, Davy Bop, and Plug in the Jug Bob. Until we meet again.
