For over 40 years “Scotty” as his customers knew him, owned and operated a full service gas station on the corner of Second and Conway Streets in Frankfort. He was an active community leader, serving as a member and then chairman of the Frankfort Independent School Board, a deacon at South Frankfort Presbyterian Church, and a member of the Frankfort Kiwanis Club. TaTa retired to his beloved Big Eddy where family and friends were always welcome. He was an avid bridge player, fisherman and sports enthusiast.
