I'll always remember Scottie, as I knew him, the first Sunday I attended the "Butte Baptist Church", not knowing anyone, he came sat down beside me and introduced himself to me, and started visiting with me. I thought that was so gracious of him. From that point on, I had nothing but GREAT respect for him! I lived in the same Facility he was at, and got to see him every day. A very caring person!!

I have so many memories of Scotty and his family. He used to always tell me Carl Bosch was his role model. "Well, Scotty you out lived Carl. You two enjoy talking farming and Guernsey Cows in heaven."

Scottie was a mentor, teacher and advisor to me while I was growing up as a nearby neighbor. I got my love for dairy cows, particularly Guernsey cows from Scottie. I bought my first guernsey heifer from Scottie. I will always remember his friendship, optimism and wisdom.

I knew Scottie as my Uncle Roy´s brother and first recall meeting him when I was around three years old. Scottie allowed me to collect cow manure from his dairy as the substrate for Housefly rearing. Scottie understood what I was accomplishing with my development of commercial insect farming and his approval was very valuable to me. I´m glad I knew him.
