I wish I could be with the family now. I send everyone my love! Grandpa was an amazing man! Everyone liked him and everyone loved to play golf with him. Some of my favorite times as a kid were when we'd go to the golf range and Grandpa would call out to us over the loud speaker "fix your form". I'll miss him dearly. Love you Gramps

Little Scotch and Siblings: Sorry to learn of your Dad passing away. He was a fixture within the B.R. Golf community and was loved and respected by all. He was a tough, self taught golf competitor who never knew the meaning of "Quit." Soctch always had good things to say and was one of the most "Non-Judgemental" people I knew. Not once did I ever hear him say anything negative about anyone,nor did I hear anyone say anything negative about Scotch.He was always fun to be around. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. God Bless Scotch.
