Charter Family: Brent and I are both shocked and saddened to read of Scott's passing. Brent worked for Scott at Triple F/Pharmtech until Brent left. Scott and Brent became friends AND hunting buddies. Scott may have been the culprit that got Brent hooked on goose hunting! We have pictures of some of their outings. Scott always teased our kids and took a special liking to our son Brody. Brody remembers a stuffed animal Scott once gave him. Since Brent left, unfortunately, the contact became less, as sadly, life gets busy, etc... However, Brent did run into him a few times in the past few years and Scott beamed when talking about his family, especially his grandson. Please know that your family has been in our thoughts and prayers this week and Scott will truly be missed by many.
