you! There are so many
positive things I could say
about Scott! He loved life to

Scotty Betts is my father’s best friend. I came to know him as a regular fixture at my family’s Sunday brunch at Stone Soup on Cooper. Scotty was someone who was dependably kind and shared so much joy. Scotty’s example of joy has impacted my life much more than I think he knew. While I was growing up and well into my teenage years Scott and John were the only gay couple or people that I knew. Their self-evident love for each other and Scotty’s ever-enduring kindness gave me the ability to accept my own gay identity. I never shared this with Scott and now I will always wish I had. I will forever be indebted to Scott and remember him as a pillar of the ideal to make happiness when and where you are day by day. I express my deep condolences to both John and Scott’s family. You are all in my thoughts. - Clayton Hoover
