Scott was a friend to everyone and probably everyone had a ride in his red Maverick auto as we cruised around the Bull Shoals/Flippin/Mountain Home area. Sorry to hear that his early smoking caught up with him to shorten his life.

The Flippin High School graduation class of 1976 enjoyed having Scott a part of our class after he moved here and many of us cruised the area in his red Maverick car. We are sorry for his early departure and offer condolences to his family.
