Rufus Edmisten, a former attorney general and secretary of state, said former Gov. Bob Scott was "the last of an era."
"He was just the kind of man that you instinctively liked," Edmisten said. "There was no puffery about him. He said what he wanted, and didn't back away from it.
"He was very practical, very plain spoken. He didn't try to impress anybody with erudition he didn't have. He got right to the point."
