Through the years, Scott was always there to lend a helping hand, care for our pets.....more like spoil them....and what meant most to me, he loved my children like they were his own. If they needed anything, we could call on him, anytime. The love he had for his family was always so apparent, and his children and grandchildren were obviously the pride of his life! Gregory, Erin, and I have many fond memories and he will be a forever loved and cherished member of our extended family! May you all have peace and know that our thoughts and prayers extend to each of you. With Sincere Sympathy,
Kathleen, Gregory, and Erin Scott
