So many fond memories of the days we worked together at the old Velvet Hammer, along with "Stretch," Beverly, Theresa. I'm at a loss for words because I thought you'd always be there, Scooter. I, too, remember the almost fatherly way you watched over us gals. and that sparkle in your eyes when you were teasing us, and that great laugh. The years went by so fast.

The BEST-est boss I ever had. I was still in high school, working part time, & even after all these many years I've often fondly remembered your endearing, often impish, smile & truly joyful, contagious, from-the-heart laugh.
RIP & may God rest your soul. Yes, you will be missed.
