Mr. Hitchcock let my spouse and me ride in the cab of his big tractor with tank-like treads when he was plowing our field several years ago. He was very nice and we enjoyed meeting him. I was shocked to see his face on the front of the little Williamston newspaper, in an article about the accident. We are both very saddened by his untimely death and send virtual hugs to the family.

Uncle Scotty, you are greatly missed! Memories of you will always be cherished and I will never forget the guidance you gave us your nieces and nephews. All I can think of is you looking down from the Heaven above still guiding us but now you're a guiding angel shining light down on us!

And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again!"

Uncle Scotty was an amazing person. He always had a great smile on his face everytime he would see us. He had lots of great stories to tell that made everyone laugh. Uncle Scotty will forever be in our hearts.

Scotty was a great uncle! Every time he came to our house, he would call Mason "Little Man" and Addison "Pretty Girl!" Mason will always remember Scotty for the John Deere Combine he drove!

My thoughts and prayers are with all of the Hitchcock family. Your Dad was great man, I always enjoy the conversation with him on the combine, during harvest time. He lived for farming, and will be missed deeply.

Hichcock family,
Having moved from Williamston in 1980, I still have fond memories of growing up there. Living in town was good but going out to the farms was a passion. Your farm was where I would take my daughter to see the milking operation in the mornings. All of the Hitchcock family made me feel welcome. I remember Scott showing us around and yes he was proud of keeping a clean operation. I also remember the snow storm of 1978. Scott, and I think Mark, were out tearing around on their John Deere snowmobiles. I, at the time, worked for Keith Litchfield. Scott asked me, on a Sunday, to help find a throttle cable for his Liquifire. I pulled one out of stock and put it on for him. It was a good thing I had keys to the store because most all stores were closed. I had a small part in Scott's life. He and your family have giving nice memories in mine. I am sad to here of his passing, but glad to have known him.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Ellis and family

Karen and the entire Hitchcock clan, My thoughts are with you. Scotty had a great smile, and always a friendly word. I remember a long time ago I was out at the farm bringing my brother Paul some food before milking started, and Scotty and Craig had to save me from Oz the Bull (he was being cranky that day...snorting and pawing the ground). It scared the heck out of me! Scotty was always willing to show me around the farm. I'll never forget that. Or him. Our deepest sympathy for you all.

Karen, thank you for embracing my partner and I into this loving community of Williamston. Now we can all have an opportunity to do this for you. I'll never forget all the amusing little stories you'd share about the love of your life, Scott. Please know that we've cried for you each day- you mean so much to us and to the community. If you should need anything, we are here for you. I'm sure Scott is lighting up the heavens with his smile- and embracing those friends and family that have passed on before us. And he is smiling down at you now, and his spirit will always be right there with you, holding your hand- just as he has for 37 years.
We love you, Karen

Scotty,
You were the essence of the word MAN. You were loyal, brave, loving, compassionate and a true family man. You gave me hope and instilled trust in me that good husbands and fathers exist. You never failed us, even in the end. Modern medicine failed you, and for this I am truly sorry. Until we meet again, my friend, I promise, when with your family to laugh, smile, love, hug and cry twice as much for you. Thank you for all that you were.
All My Love,

If immitation is the most sincere form of flattery, I guess that I could go back to the late 1970's when the "Hitchcock Boys" were driving those crew cab Ford PU trucks...Always wondered what was up with that, until I bought one...Many years with Judy and Keith Douglas working next door to "the Boys",and getting a big HIGH FIVE from them when passing in trucks or tractors made me feel I was a part of American Agriculture. Heard from Keith Douglas today of this terrible loss. I watched "the Boys" really "do the work" after the dairy buyout,and continue to excell in the career that they took on. Through good and bad, man, they sure did a bunch of work...and expanded into other areas of Ag Production. My thoughts are with all the families and relatives in this very difficult time.

Our memories of Scott are that no matter whether it was a family get together, a wedding or even a funeral he always greeted everyone with a smile. He was a really nice man and we are proud to have known him. He will be missed but I think he probably is up there joking around with our brother Bill and both of them are with the Lord.

I had the privilege of riding with Scotty, not on his bike, but in a group with him. Many times men don't like to ride with women, but he was wonderful and Lois and I had a great day of riding with "the bros". May you rest in peace Scotty, knowing that your family and friends are surrounded by God's peace and support. You can now watch over all of them from above.
Karen, Frank, and Sara, there are no words to ease your pain right now. I will keep you all in my prayers!!! Lean on friends for support and know that the community of Williamston is grieving right along with you.

The Hitchcock's have always had a smile, a story or a good laugh with a mighty hand shake for whoever they came in contact with. Well this chapter too, is a story, just one with two of the ingredients missing. Scotty's loss is a loss to the whole community that will be grieved and sorely missed. Karen, May God guide all of your famlies through your loss and help you find your smiles and laughter again. God bless you all.
