Scott was a wonderful friend who always had an ever present twinkle in his eye. He had a heart of gold and my life is so much richer for having had him
in it. I am so very blessed to have had him as a friend.

Scott was a very dear longtime friend, I have known Scotty since i was in 3rd grade and we were the best of friends. As years came and went and we got older and went different ways, Scott and i always remained in touch, sharing old laughs and making new one's. In school we paired up when we could, i recall back in home economics we had to make Butterscotch cookies, Scott read the recipe and i put the stuff together neither of us knew anything about cooking, we were in 9th grade. He told me 5 Tbl if baking soda...They turned out HUGE!!!of course the teacher had to try them and all she said was " they are a little dry" we both got F's on that assignment and needless to say no one would eat them...
I will miss you old friend...I have so many fond fond memories.. My thoughts are with you Bill, Nancy, Billy and Larry.

Scott was a wonderful person who was very kind and thoughtful of others. While it's sad to see him go, it's comforting that he is no longer in pain or suffering. He was so brave!! Scott has always been very dear to me. We dated for a short time as teenagers but developed a life long frienship. Although our lives took very differnt paths, he has always, and forever will, have a special place in my heart.

We are so sorry for the loss of Scotty, particularly at such a young age. But Scotty accomplished so much for so many in his short life. We know he is with our Lord and Savior and his mother and many loved ones who preceeded him in death. We will think of him often and remember him for his great love for others and good deeds. We love and miss you Scotty!!! We have enjoyed every minute we had with you.
