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.
So sorry to hear about Scotty’s passing, Scotty was a great guy, who was loved by all who knew him…
Scotty,
It was always a pleasure to see and hear you at meetings. Now that you’ve moved on, I expect you’ll be renewing your friendship with your old work partner, Plug-in -the Jug Bobby. Give him my regards! R. I. P.

Uncle Larry said a lot of fun things so here is one for you uncle Larry. There’s a magnificent bird called the pelican who’s beak can hold more than his belican he can take in its beak enough for a week
I’ll be damned if I know how the helical.
Love you uncle Larry
