Words can't express how saddened I am for your loss.
Jackie; I am so glad that you all were able to be together again as a family. I know how precious time is and how the appreciation of that time will remain in your hearts forever.
One of Todd's favorite stories about Scotty was right after Todd had bought Franks... Scotty was working behind the bar with Todd during a busy night. I was across from where Scotty was working when a man had walked up behind me and grabbed my "back side". Scotty flew across the bar and about twisted the guy's arm off. The guy's eyes were as big as saucers at this point as Todd came over and had to pry Scotty away. Todd laughed and laughed as he explained to Scotty that the guy was a good friend of ours and meant no disrespect. Scotty (still looking at our friend like he was on the edge of a good beating) let Todd know how much he respected and appreciated working with him and that he wouldn't allow anyone to disrespect either one of us as long as he was around. Todd and I thought that was so awesome.
Two great men... Our memories will live on forever. Toni
