“I just heard the news of the passing of Scott Witt. I’m truly at a loss for words! I’ll never forget all the laughs and jokes we had at Incahoots and Montana’s! I’ll never forget the first time I met you at Incahoots and you had taken a photo of me at Laughlin the weekend before! I could always count on you to have a smile ear to ear and in a good mood ready to have a good time! You will be missed my friend.”
“You were one of the most kind hearted men I’ve known and definitely reminded me to never lose my worth. Thank you. I hope you’re relaxing, drinking a cold beer, and blaring good country music up there! Give them a little hell up there in a good way! Show them how we do it. God Speed my friend!
