Not sure what to say?

Many good memories with him, he will be missed

I am deeply saddened by this news. Although I didn't see him often, Punkin was one of my favorite people in the world. He was a smart and skilled mechanic. He had more common sense than all of us put together. Most importantly, he was kind. He will be greatly missed by the Bailey family.

Scott was a good person to all. My aunt, “Mrs Bridges” as he called her, and my Mom, Frances, kept books for Don Dover and Scott for many years. Both of those ladies loved Scott like their own. I will miss seeing Scott and laughing with him. Peace and love rides with you always Scott

During our last discussion, Scott was quick to let me know he was prepared for the worse. He was a devoted member of our morning devotional group and a dear friend. I will cherish his memory forever.

Scott was my mechanic for many, many years. I could always trust him to fix my car, no matter how long it took. After my husband Allen died he was especially kind and helpful to me. I am praying for his family and friends. We will miss Scott so much!

David, sorry to hear of your brother’s passing. Will be praying for you.

Godspeed to a great man!

No worries, he got it all fixed up in no time, with few comments, mainly just a smile and a few words of interest, though not about the car. He was quite intelligent--I...

Punkin will surely be missed. He was a fine Man...
