Way too soon Scotty, way too soon. There was so much more left for you to do. I'm devastated. We shared so much both good and bad. We went through you losing your dad, losing your brother and your double pneumonia. You helped me through the death of my dad two years ago. Most recently we shared endless phone conversations and you got to know my new husband Marc.
The first time you came to my home in Brooklyn, New York you kept telling me you couldn't find your comb. When the next day came and my toilet wouldn't work the maintenance crew had to take out the toilet to check the pipe and there was your beloved comb. I remember calling you on the phone and I told you that you were in big trouble. With a laugh in your voice you asked, "What Did I Do Karen"? I told you I found your comb in the pipe of my toilet. We had a really big laugh over that.
Also I remember sending you a Mass card when your dad passed away. When you received it you called me to say thank you but you were crying and laughing at the same time. You explained that your dad hadn't been to church in a long time and it was funny because you said it took a jewish girl to send him back to church for a whole year. You laughed so hard Scotty. It was a brief bright spot during a difficult time for you and your family.
I'll treasure those moments Scotty, the laughs we shared and the tears we shared. G-D bless you my friend. You'll never be forgotten. RIP Scotty and give my dad a big hug and kiss from me.

I wish we could have met. Karen's stories of you are supreme joys to hear.
I will never forget when Karen told you that we started to date. You turned to her and said that this would be the end of your friendship because I would be jealous. After talking with each other, you realized that it didn't end, it just changed to now include me.
My all-time favorite story was the night the three of us were talking. I said something, and Karen disagreed. We turned to you, and you had sided with me. Karen was so upset, she gave us a Brooklyn cheer (blowing raspberries). That only made us laugh harder.
RIP, my friend.

Scottie was the face of the 34th Precinct. The first face you saw when you walked into the 34th Pct and the last face you saw before you went end the tour. Scottie was our loyal friend. He was the one we will turned to. He was everyone's right hand. He was well loved by all. We should all be thankful that we have been touched by his kindness and were given the chance to have known a man named Scott McCue. The memories I have shared with Scottie will forever be cherished.
