Scotty Townsend was the "John Wayne" of pool. Just a great guy to play against - to hang around with - he was just larger than life in every single way possible. They don't make pool players like Scotty anymore.
I was blessed to have known Scotty for almost 33 years. When he walked into a room - everybody stopped and pointed. You won't meet many players that were as loved, respected, and admired by their peers as Scotty was. He lived his life on the edge right up to the very end just being himself with no apologies.
He was an original - and that is why we all loved him to death.
Rest in peace, Scotty - I know you got action up there.
