Scotty was born at home on the Royal Ranch in Schley, Texas on September 1, 1941. The family moved to Waco, Texas a short time later where Scotty would grow up and attend school. He graduated from Waco High School in 1959 and enlisted in the U.S. Air Force shortly thereafter. He was stationed in Germany the next four years. Upon his Honorable Discharge from the service, he moved to Las Vegas, Nevada where he met the love of his life, Otilia Gail Gandara. Gail and Scotty were married on October 30, 1970 and were together until Gail’s passing on July 26, 2019.
During his working career, Scotty was employed as a computer system analyst for Ratheron Corp. Scotty retired in 1996 due to health issues. Gail would retire a few years later after. After retirement, the couple would split their time between homes in Montana and Texas.
