I was saddened by the news of Scottie's passing. I remember fondly our experience playing the the Reactors and the close bonds we formed during those years. We shared an enthusiasm for good guitars, good songs and good cars, particularly BMWs. He was a dependable friend, peacemaker and gentle man. He will be sorely missed.

I’m so sorry about my friend Scottie. Ever since 7th grade we’ve been friends, musicians and classmates. He sat in front of me in Mrs. Garner’s 7th grade English. I spoke with him this past summer about his retirement plans. God bless his wife and family members. He had many friends and was a straight shooter. Go in peace, Scottie.
Trey Curtis left a message on October 25, 2022:
Scottie was more than just a co-worker, he was a true friend. Our paths crossed over 22 years ago while working at Progressive Bank. He instantly became a friend. I enjoyed my 22 years of working with Scottie, which looking back today they seem to come and go so fast. I wish we had more time to spend fishing and talking about football. I will miss you.
