R.I.P. Scotty. My brother, you will never be forgotten!!! I think of you all the time….I never returned to racing, it just wasn’t the same. I will never forget the great times we had in the F.D. and our trip to Cancun. You should be honored that your sister has become an all around firefighter and now your nephew is following in the same steps….I miss you buddy, but I am sure you are keeping an eye over all of us!!!
– William HerreraScotty was an amazing person that left us at far too young of an age. He had a heart of gold with a genuine and infectious smile. You are in my prayers and missed every day. I exist somewhere between the pain of your death and the joy of your life. Win, lose or draw… Still a team! RIP my friend.
– “Magic”Always remembered buddy! Aces for Life!
