Facebook Facebook  "You always got the straight shot from
Scotty. He had a heart as big as the world -- and he was happy,"
said Richard Frantz, a Special Olympics coach.  The Special
Olympics in Burlington is usually filled with smiles and
cheers.  But on Sunday it took a moment to remember and honor
the tragic loss of Scotty Moffitt. Moffitt, who was in his mid-
thirties, was an athlete in the Special Olympics program for
over thirty years and his coaches say he was a part of their
family.  "And to say that we miss about him would be an
understatement -- but I'm telling you he is absolutely here and
he's got front row seats to this event today," said Chris Lance,
a Special Olympics Program Coordinator.  Tragedy struck just
before 11 a.m. Saturday when the Bennington Fire Department
responded to a house fire on Lincoln Street. Fi
