To the Scott family:
My name is Andrew and I grew up in southern Maryland. It's Monday night, February 8th at 9:45 pm, and just a moment ago I finished thoroughly enjoying a YouTube video entitled "Why The Best Southern Barbecue Takes Weeks To Make - Southern Foodways Alliance". I clicked on the video initially because of my love for barbecue; I stayed because of how utterly impressive, incredibly rare and authentically beautiful your family is. Of the 5,830 comments provided below the video, this particular exchange leapt off the screen for me, because it put into words precisely what I was feeling so profoundly, but couldn't identify for myself: one viewer wrote, "These dudes have a part of America in their souls... you can feel the old country in their cooking", to which another replied, "These dudes are America".
I heard a pastor say this past Sunday to be careful how we live, because we'll be the only Bible some people ever read. What a powerful statement. When I watched the video of your family, I knew what he meant.
Mrs. Scott, my heart aches for you, ma'am. I am so, so sorry. May God continue to bless you and help you to heal. Until you meet again.
Rodney, please don't you ever, ever, ever change. Your integrity, your inexhaustible work ethic, your commitment to not wanting to ever let your parents down. You really are the real America, brother. Through and through.
And, finally, to Mr. Scott, "Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death if His saints" - Psalm 116:15. Rest easy my friend.

My sincere condolences to Ella Jane and Rodney. If I were to list everything that led me to know Rosie over the last forty five years, it would be a book. His presence will be missed in Brunson Crossroads but his legacy will forever remain. Much Love

I just want to express my sincere condolences to the family and the community of friends of Rosie. He was an awesome man that made the area around Brunson Crossroad famous. People came from all over to dine on his creation. I always tried to make it there whenever I came/come home to get some Scott's BBQ to bring back. Hundreds of friends and coworkers. Look forward to feasting on South Carolina barbeque as I would call it. It was a fixture for all meals at our church and my work place. There are many individuals that are always requesting "some of that bbq" when I make the trip home. On multiple occasions when I was at Scott's there would be people that came from long distance to consume the WORLD'S GREATEST BARBEQUE. Recently there was a man from Ohio with his two sons that told me that he took a two and a half hour detour to bring his sons to see Scott's and whenever he is within 3 hours of Scott's he makes trip there. Rosie has taken a little county store and made it famous through out the country. I will truly miss him sitting on the bench with his friends in front of the store when I'm there always greeting me with a "hey Billy".
To Ella Jane, Rodney and all the family workers and friends my thoughts and prayers are with you for you have lost a giant.
