So sorry to hear we have lost Scotty - a good mate and one of nature´s gentlemen; a beautiful soul. From when we first got roomed adjacent as S´s at Lincoln to the scruffy share house, we maintained a friendship that endured long gaps, but catching up was always the same - Scotty warm hearted and generous, tolerant, genuine and fun. Deepest sympathies for your loss Karen and girls. Our thoughts and best wishes ongoing. Aussie Smith & family.

Scotty, I thought we would get to see you again, after such an ordeal. From our 1st meeting in 1973, at Lincoln College, till the last time I saw you when you & Karen , & Picton family, called in to see us in Blenheim, you have allways been part of our thoughts. Especially remembered for Robin's 21st, & our shared birthdays in the early days. We have just seen the notice, so very sadly can't make it to the funeral, where I know there will be so many stories from so many people.
Rest easy Mate ........ Bob & Robin Jones

So very sad, thinking of you all. Scotty was a great mate to my brother Mark (Temp) who passed away last year. Scotty was the only person I know who could sleep standing up in the middle of a party! No doubt there'll be some stories to tell. A lovely man.
