A memorial service will be held 10 AM Saturday February 20, 2010 a the Old Union church and school. Those interested are asked to bring a covered dish for an old-fashioned fellowship to honor Scooter. We will have music and play some of Scooter’s favorite songs, talk about how he touched our lives and reminisce about the good ol’ days. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to local hospice organizations of your choice for all the wonderful things they do for those in their final days of need.
