Uncle Scotty-Oh wow,  what a man I shared a room with uncle Scotty for awhile He slept on the bottom bunk. I slept on the top 

I learnt a lot about the man in my time.  He was a sharp dresser and was always suited up when going out on the town.  His cars were emaculate. I always thought it funny how he got dressed up to the nines, then he would wash his car all dressed up. He would say,  "I be finished in a minute". 

He would always share his favourite music with me. He liked calipso and reggae.He would encourage me to get things done, like learning to drive. He use to take the family on trips one day as we all got in his car he said Paul it’s your turn to start driving as he won’t be able to do it all the time. I soon got my license 

He would share his work with me too; he was a skilled oxyacetylene welder and also was excellent at making things. Uncle Scotty always had time for all of us. Whenever he was around most of the family would turn up.  He was so loving and friendly. 

I visited him in New York a few times. He was always annoyed with me as I would turn up after a few days and he would say you should have come  already. An Uncle was a  father figure,  a friend and a family member. 

Much loved and very much missed 

RIP Uncle Scotty -Paul Williams- UK

 We  both attended school in  Comfort Hall Manchester.  We went to the Baptist church in Epping Forest. Growing up we helped  our tather with the store, un his farm and with the cows he owned,  so the people in  our district  called him Farmer.

 After the death of our Father  we left Manchester and he went to live with his cousin  Miss Vergie in Highgate Hall Trelawny. He decided to learn a trade so he went to the cabinet shop at Coleyville. It was there that  he become a Cabinet Maker. During that time we visited each other weekly.  He never left  me out.  I was living  at Cascade then and  he would come see me as often as he could. He  was a loving brother to me. He cared for his two sibbling my self  an our last little brother Robbie.

Our  Mother migrated to England in 1961 and she sent for Scotty.  That was the first time we would be apart. However, he said: "Don't worry my brother we will soon be together." Sure enough  i joined him in 1964 where he lived in Derby England with with our mother.

Scotty loved stopping and  would take me shoping. As my loving brother he would also  take me to a lot of places  to meet his friends.He then worked in the textile industry for a few years.  said to me One day he told me  that he was going to buy himself a Lorrey;  that is  a Tipper Truck. He did well with that and also he taught me to drive a  car then to drive truck his truck. He  never left me and really took care of me as a big brother.

He met his wife got married to her and   an had four kids living in Nottingham. He then went into welding he did well. After several  years he and his  wife were separated  and eventually divorced.

He then left  Uk for Brooklyn  New York where again we  were together  again. He soon caught up with  his old school days girl friend Blossom and  they get married a short time after.

He   lived in the Bronx there he went  into carpentry work. He soon earned a reputation for being an excellent worker. He worked for many persons such  like David Latherman and  many other well known persons. 

Scotty and his wife Blossom  had a wonderfull life together. They both  did well together. I  spent quite  a lot of time with them in the Bronx even though I lived  in Florida i enjoyed going go hang out with them and also to  work with Scotty doing kitchens and bathrooms.

A few days before  his passing he called me in Jamaica to  say he  was not feeling well. I said go to the hospital, however he told me he didnot want to go  because his  doctor said he must not go to the hospital.  I came back from Jamaica  on the 27 of March  and  spoke to him at  5.30 pm.  That was the last time  spoke to my brother.  He passed on the 2nd of April.

I could stay up and write all day about my brother Scotty as I really miss him so much.

Uncle Scotty I miss you dearly thank you for being so supportive and loving. I know you are watching over us and are resting peacefully. I long to hear your laugh and see that smile that lights up the room. 

I love you Jan Jan x

It's been a year since you suddenly left us; shocked and sad we were but you left us with so many precious memories. We can never forget your laughter and your ever welcoming smile. Gone but not forgotten.  Continue to rest in Eternal peace Scotty. 

The Morrison family.

Uncle Scotty I can't believe it's nearly a year you were taken from us, due to this terrible pandemic. I miss you dearly and you will never be forgotten. You lived with me and my daughter Charlene for a while, before you left to go to America. It was a blessing to have you in my home and I treasure these precious memories. I came to visit you and Blossom in America, with Charlene and Jannell and we had such a wonderful time. 

When you came to the UK, Jan jan went everywhere with you, she was like you shadow.  You never like to see anyone down or sad, once they heard your contagious laugh and your loudness, it always put a smile on their faces. Manley and I always talk about you, how you were so happy, easy going and loved life.

 I know you're looking down on us and you're always in my thoughts. One love as you always said to me. Love you always Uncle Scotty.
