I just found this, Tim has been wondering why Scotty had called him back, which is not like him. This was Tim's fear that something was wrong. Scotty and Tim. Was best of friends. Which is how I got to know Scotty, Paula and Stacy. My heart just breaks for all of you. Scotty was such a awesome guy. I have memories of him and Tim I will never forget. And sharing puppy pictures and jokes on Facebook. Scotty you put up a heck of a fight for so many years with the help of Paula :(. May you RIP dear friend. We will miss you and we loved dear friend.

Today is the first I´ve seen of this news. Albeit late, I still wanted to offer condolences. And mention that I do have a very fond memory of fishing with him at the little river behind his house. We had a great day together.
