Scott, I have so many memories of you and was shocked when I found out you had passed away. I will never forget us teaming up in high school band for a color guard competition and us going way out on a limb and trying stuff in our routine most people wouldn't dare try, but we pushed and pushed and brought home a gold medal. And the memory of being judged by a member of "the" Madison Scouts, only one of the most famous drum and bugle corps ever, was a "Moment" in itself, I still have the critque sheets and I still remember the music that we used. I remember when we saw our names posted on that bulletin board as the gold metal winners and us jumping up and down from excitment, I will cherish that moment and our friendship always, You were truly a great friend, and your contagious smile and personality will never be forgotten. Prayers and love for your family and loved ones.

God bless you for the wonderful person you were to so many; I know your memory will be kept alive in everyone's hearts until that day comes we meet up with you again...

Respectfully yours....

I am just blessed that God gave me the opportunity to see you and have one last conversation with you at Mexican Inn last week. Until we meet again.. Love you friend!

It was a pleasure working with you, when I started back in Lake Worth Mx Inn Store. You were a good friend and a good server to our customers at Mx Inn store. We will miss you. The time I will never ever forget was the day of my birthday two years ago. You were a great entertainer. You are a better place, sleep well and "Peace" brother.

I have known Scott for years. He worked at some bars and country club and was always very nice. I owned bar express and he always gave me good referals. Me and my wife always ask for him the last 5 years when we ate at mexican inn. He was quite a showman too. I loved watching him perform----Dance on my friend

Scott was a great person and will be missed by many! He was such a huge part of the Mexican Inn Cafe in Lake Worth, and worked there since the opening in 2006. I had the pleasure of working with him over the years and he became a true friend, not just an employee. He was like family and would do anything to help anyone. It was such an unexpected loss and I am still in a litlle bit of shock, but I treasure the memories and the impact that Scott had on my life. You will never be forgotten! My condolences and deepest sympathies go out to Jerry and the family.

Scott,
You left too soon, we talked almost everyday and I'm still waiting for the phone to ring and see your name on the caller ID. I know that you are in a better place, somewhere that your hands and feet don't hurt anymore, and you don't need to take insulin or pain pills. You were and always will be a larger than life entertainer with a heart to match, what will I do without my bestest friend in the world? Josh misses you terribly, and someday I hope he can make sense of all this. You, my friend were loved by many, and I'm glad in the last days that we spent time together, even though it was at my Dad's funeral, that we got to say to each other how much our frienship meant to us, and that we loved each other as best friends do, you have meant more to me than anything I could write, and your family treats me like one of their own, what a tribute to you, that they would do that for your friend!!!! I know that you are in heaven, and if I know you like I do, you are either decorating it, or rearranging things up there. Rest in Peace my Dear Friend.
