As cousins, "Scotty" and I grew up together, and I have many fond memories of our youth with 4th of July family picnics, Christmas and Thanksgiving get togethers and Harvey Browne Church. My condolences to Leslie, Peter, and the rest of the family. May he rest in peace.

My thoughts go out to Scott (God Bless His Soul) and his family. How do such close friends grow so far apart? Scott and I stayed in contact through the mid-1970s and then for no good reason we lost contact. We had dinner several years ago, but we again lost contact. Where did our wonderful days and great times go? Theta Chi Pledge and Fraternity brothers, pledge revolt to IU, "Hell" week, fraternity meetings, party times (too many to remember), dances and formals, do you have a date?, "bad head," happy hour, Shipley's, Jefferson Avenue Cafe, Veranda, hump day, late night studying, intramurals, pool, bridge, eucher, ping pong, fish pond, house mother, dream girl, NCAA Finals at Freedom Hall, Florida or bust, best man in my wedding, and on and on. This sad time brings back great memories of best friends and brothers: Grover Price, Jim Kienle, Paul Gigley, Dan Metz, Jim Ireland, Jim Seibel, Don Huber, Willie Schwartz, Dan Dell, Ken Moore, Jack Belton, Grover Hall, Don Burrell, Ken Alexander, Bob Gilhart, Sonny Goodwin, Art Love, Larry Jones, Phil Pfaffenberger, Dennis Starkey, Ken Krodel, Bill Blistan, Bob Oswald, Ron Allen, Lou Patrone, Terry Cusick, Gordie Queen, Joe Tuttle, Dave Oberlin,and many many more. While it is time to mourn, it is also time to celebrate life. Scott was a very special person and I will always remember the great times we had together.

Uncle Scott was my favorite Uncle. What good times we would have when we would visit he and Aunt Leslie and Peter and their dog Papier (sp?). My brothers Eric and Mark and I would use their long hallway with the black and white squared tiles as our "runway" and pull each other in our blankets....fun memories. I always appreciated both Uncle Scott and Aunt Leslie for their unwavering interest in the history of the Tichenor family and loved looking through old pictures and other things that they would uncover. You will be missed Uncle Scott. Love from Dana Henkel (nee Tichenor) and husband Bob and kids, Bobby and Jenn

I met Scott as a college freshman at the U of Cincinnati in 1960. Scott was always very outgoing while I tended to be shy and somewhat retiring. We became good friends, members of the same fraternity (Theta Chi), and had many memorable times together. We went our separate ways upon graduation in 1965, Scott returning to Louisville to start his interior design career, marry Leslie, and join the Marine reserves. I joined the Air Force in the fall of 1965 where I spent the next 3 1/2 years of my life. On my way to Seattle, WA in the fall of 1969 I stopped to see Scott and his wife Leslie. Scott was always an excellent salesman and he talked me into becoming his business manager for his young interior design business. His reputation for excellent work really started to take off but reached a point where he needed someone with more business expertise than I was able to provide so we parted ways in 1973. In 1974 my wife and I moved to southern New Jersey so that she could attend graduate school at the U of Delaware. After 34 years of separation I regret that we couldn't have departed on better terms, but I'll always be grateful for his friendship and the good times we had together. My condolences to his family and many friends.

I was so saddened to hear from another dear high school friend of Scott's passing. Even though we did not keep in touch thru the years, he was a big part of my 'growing up' years at Harvey Browne in St Matthews. My deepest sympathy to you all.

Dear Leslie,

So many fond memories over so many years...

We're so glad we'd renewed our friendship with you both, and that we were able to spend time with Scott on his several trips to visit us in recent years.

With love,

Doug and Jackie

I recently spent a wonderful day with Scott brainstorming for Kentucky Homes and Gardens Magaine.  It was a priviledge for me as an Exterior designer to work with  Scott ,consdered as one of the most talented Interior Decorators . I am so grateful that I was able to share with him the fact that I have always admired his tremendous talents.  I am  even more grateful that I really got to know and appreciate Scott for his very sensitive personal side and was grateful for a new and professional friendship. I am tremendously saddened by the news and extend my deepest sympathies to all of his family and friends.  I will cherich the recent friendship, his tremendous talents , his  unexpected sensitivity, and the many days that I treated myself to taking a moment out of my day to wander through the most eclectic store in Butchertown. Devotedly, Barbie Tafel Thomas

Scott decorated my parent's house twice in the 70's: Once when they moved in and the second time following a fire. He was a good man and was affectionately known by the members of our household as "Scotty Baby". I am sorry for your loss.
