Scotty : people never understood you like I did. you were a private man with a great devotion to your faith in God and the love of this country you became part of as a young man in 1957. This last 25 years of friendship will always be remembered and cherished .
You were so humble and giving of what little you had. They will never know what you went thru on the battlefield in Korea and loosing your friends all around you and wondering to this day why God let you survive. The discrimination you and your family suffered in Scotland because of your faith. You overcame those setbacks and started a new life here and cared for your mother as a good son until her death.
To be your friend was to accept you as you were and respect your privacy and not ask too many questions. Many thought you were strange(including myself in the beginning ) and avoided you but I was the lucky one to be accepted and gain your trust all these years as you became a part of our family Thank you for befriending my dad and being there in his dying days with him and me. My only regret is finding you that way and not being with you when you passed on to your final reward. Heaven has another Scotsman . I will miss those calls to go have lunch every week. Rest in peace my friend. Your Buddy!
