Cameron resident widely known just as "Scooby" a local little league umpire and high school softball umpire passed away. He was one of the best most charismatic most well liked umpires ever. He has been calling ball longer than I can remember. I had him ever since I started T-ball prolly 15 years ago. He has always been one of my favorite umpires and he was such a great man. He is one of the guys that got me into wanting to umpire and he will surely be missed. Ask any player that ever had him call one of there games and they will tell you he is one of the most approachable funniest guys you will ever meet.
Keep him and his family and friends in your prayers. He will surely be missed by everyone and he has touched many lives
