| Several of us from the team got together last night an thought that something should be posted on the site. It is with an extremely heavy heart that I am writing this. Scottie passed away early Wednesday morning. He was an amazing friend, teammate, dad, uncle, son, and brother. As many of the people in the league know we are all very close on CM and even though Scottie had not played with us for a few years he was still extremely close with many of the guys on the team. Services are at Tucker-Quinn funeral home on Sunday from 1-5 and the funeral is Monday @ 10am. I want to thank the U's 2 B's for moving the game up an hour so that some of us can get to the wake when it starts, that means a ton to a lot of us and shows what this league is about. I really do not know what else to say as I am still in shock over the loss of my best friend. If there is any one thing I cannot stress enough is appreciate what you have and do not let petty shit get in the way of those you love. You do not know what tomorrow brings so do not take anything for granted because it could be gone tomorrow. Scottie you will be sadly missed by a lot of people and I love you my brother. Rest in peace.

| I wasn't as close to Scotty as the Moulton team but none the less, he was a great friend to me. He was truly a great guy. He was one of the nicest guy you'll ever meet. He treated everyone with respect and if you were lucky enough to know Scotty then he made some sort of great impression on you. He was an unbelievable father and friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and all his friends. He will be missed terribly and remembered daily.

| One funny thing that comes to mind was when Scott was playing. As many of you know he was a top tier outfielder but couldn't hit worth a lick. He surprisingly always came through in clutch moments but other than that...not good. We used to tell him when he went up to bat to not swing if there were runners on or tell him to just strike out to stay out of the DP. He always just laughed with us when we said it. Please feel free to share any memories you have. I know it will def help some of us with the healing process.

| I can tell you this much...he was probably the only guy on that team that I felt safe hanging around with after a game. Not that you folks aren't all nice guys but he was a bit of a different breed. I never felt like I had to crawl through the air conditioning ducts to escape Crowe Bar if Scott was watching.
