My deepest sincere condolences to Sandra, Michael, and the Scott family. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
Scotty's books are a good part of the reason I know as much about PSG as I do now. I will miss him. |

| I'm very sad to hear about Scotty's passing. In 2003, I went to the International Steel Guitar Convention for the first time and had the opportunity to meet him. He was a great friend, great steel player, and great musician. RIP Scotty, you will be missed |

I met Scotty at the Gulfport, Mississippi, show last year. I found him both friendly and engaging. I wish I'd had the opportunity to get to know him sooner and better.
Sincere condolences to the family, and thanks for all you've done to promote this wonderful instrument.

| Just learned after school today that Scotty passed on. I can't think of anyone who has done more for Steel Guitar Players the World over. I consider it an honor to have known him! A Friend for about 40 years. It saddens me to post here! Prayers for his Family! Rest in peace Friend! |

| I'm so very sorry to hear this Sandra. He did so much to bring us together, and I remember him being very nice to me on a personal level every time I encountered him. I am so glad that I had a few chances to meet and speak with him over the last few years. This is a very sad day. |
