He was a character. In our little Arizona town everybody rooted for the Cowboys or the Cardinals, only Scuttle was a Giants fan. The educated and rich were Democrats and the blue-collar pale faces Republicans but Scuttle was a proud social libertarian. What’s a social libertarian? you ask. We suspected even Scuttle didn’t know.
And the most weird: during Halloweens he’d give candy bars to the grownups, never to the kids.
Now that Scuttle’s gone, we all miss him because he was the only one who’d give us candy.
