Tall, lean Scott with his arms crossed and smiling could only make you smile back. I will forever remember you at all the family gatherings and how you loved sharing your garden produce and electronic skills. One of my last memories was you proudly helping me through the airport. Praying for your family at this very difficult time.

My friend I will miss you. I will miss your smile, your laughter and your I don't give a damn attitude. You were you from the day you stepped into that uniform until the last day you wore it. Keep shining down on us and may your garden grow to abundance. Thank you for being in our lives. Rest now we will take it from here.
