 On Thursday, January 11th, Pikeville Police Department remembers fallen officer Scotty Hamilton after his death in March 2018. Hamilton was a respected member of the department who gave everything to defend his community. Those who were closest to him will continue to think of him fondly and carry on his memory. The first January after Scotty's passing, the city seemed felt it feeding that January 11th, which was Scotty's unit number, to declare that an annual Scotty Hamilton Day. It's had a few different forms, but we would really use it as a data to reflect and just remember Scotty and we like to try to visit with his daughter and maybe reach out to the family. Some of us like to go up to his grave site, maybe have a cup of coffee or something, something that Scotty liked to do and we share stories that we remember from Scotty, most funny ones and different times that we got to share together, but really just a data to remember Scotty and remember what a great guy was and what he meant to this department and this community. Appalachian wireless just can't stop themselves, give the iPhone 13 128 gig for a penny with a two-year contract on the Mix and Match or Unlimited Plan, new or renewed line. Now supplies last, one penny for an iPhone 13, we are you, we are Appalachian wireless. Though he has gone, Hamilton's legacy lives on through the department and his family. Everyone he knew has something positive to say about him. Everybody likes to, when you bring Scotty up, it's always, remember that smile, every time you see Scotty, Scotty had a big smile on his face. Many might not know this, but I went to school with Scotty and you know, even before Scotty was a police officer, that was a characteristic that everyone knew about Scotty. Some called him Mr. Nice Guy, you know, because he was always smiling and trying to find the positive in everything and so friendly, you know, Scotty's the type that, even if he didn't want to talk to somebody who was in a hurry, he would be late because he would stand there and have that conversation with him because he was just so approachable and so friendly. But he just, he'll forever be missed, one of the best friends I ever had. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Colum.
