Growing up in Houston, in Oak Forest, Scott Spradlin was my best friend. He and his brothers, Rick and Donald, were my next door neighbors. Scott and I both went to UT for our college education. And, at one time, I lived at his Mom's house in Austin.
I am sad to hear of my friend's passing.
Scott was a good man, a good father to his children, and a fine friend. We are all fortunate to have known him. I will keep him in my memory and in my prayers.
A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. PROVERBS 17:17.
