Scotty Holmes was an important part of my life. I would not be where I am today without Scott. I would have never flown for Conseco, would have never met my wife, and I would not have the family I have today if not for Scotty. I spent many hours and days with Scott and he made me a better pilot and a better man. I am so sad for his family and their loss, and very sad I can not be there in person to show my respect.
