Scotty was a bright, compassionate, and exceptionally hardworking man. He was quick to laugh and always had a mischievous twinkle in his eye. He was deeply dedicated to his family, and to the love of his life, Cheryl.  In his younger years you could find him on his motorcycle in the dirt.  A little later in life could be found in the garage running his trains or in his toolshed, working on his next woodworking masterpiece. He had a passion for music and played the drums and guitar.  He loved to play frisbee golf and cribbage.  Every moment growing up in his household was full of wonder and adventure. He will be missed, not just by his children and grandchildren, but by their friends, his friends, his coworkers, his neighbors, and anyone who has been lucky enough to share even just a moment of his time.

I was so sad to hear about Scotty’s passing. Even though I had only seen him at a few family gatherings, he impressed me with his kindness and concern for others and he always had a smile that would light up the room. My sincere condolences to his family.
