"Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your girls. We will fondly remember the "deep" discussions on any topic. I also can't help but smile when I think of the Pinto going through the blizzard to get Marv for my 21st birthday. Scott will be missed. Mary and Marv"

" Kelly, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Many Friday night pizza runs in college with Scott and the boys. I will always remember his wit, humor, and laughter along with his great trivia background knowledge. May he be at peace now. God Bless!"
"Always remember Scott's kindness; remember how he would always take all your dried flowers and put them in the garage when I was coming to visit? His thoughtfulness around my allergy to dried flowers was remarkable! My love is with you, Cassie and Haleigh"
