Sorry for so many repeats. It didn't appear to be working on June 4.

I met Scott after I found his driver's license on Folly Beach, SC. I contacted him and we became pen pals. This was during his junior year at Annapolis. I came up and went to the Army Navy game with him. He was such a fun loving and very nice person. I invited him to my wedding and he actually came. He changed his clothes at the church for the wedding with my husband to be. We were shocked. This was right before his graduation from the Naval Academy. He said he wanted to be come a Marine General. I'm so sorry to hear about his sudden early death. Such a loss to the world. My condolences to his family.

We met long ago after I found his ID on Folly Beach , SC while he was visiting during the time he was at Annapolis. He was exactly as you describe him here. He came to my wedding 46 years ago. I was shocked! I have though about him often since that time. So very sorry to hear that he left this life so early. It saddens me that his personality is no longer on earth for people to enjoy. God bless to his family.

I have though about him oftentimes since that time. So very sorry to hear that he left this life so early. It saddens me that his personality is no longer on earth for people to enjoy. Good bless to his family.

We met Scott and Ann while serving in Okinawa together and got to be good friends. His favorite song at that point was Strokin' by Clarence Carter. I still smile when I think of him singing that song and having such a good time. What a fun time we had. He always had a smile.

Dear Ann,
I am so very sorry for your sudden loss of Scott. It pains me that we did not have a chance to spend much time together during the reunion. I have had you and Scott’s memories on my mind all week. Sadly, I won’t be able to make the funeral, as I was not able to rearrange enough of my schedule to get to Portsmouth. You and your family will be in my prayers throughout this difficult time. As the Bible states in Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Peace be with you,
Fred Weber

Ann, Debbie and I love you; we hurt for you; we miss Scott terribly.
Todd, Kate and Jake, your Dad was my best friend growing up. If it were not for his fanatical love of the Naval Academy, I may never have gone myself - he was just that infectious! Although he certainly "rated" a better "Best Man" than I, it was an honor to serve him and your Mom in that capacity. Your Dad was an incredible man, a great example in those areas which matter most - a true man of faith, a dovoted husband and father, a faithful friend, an unparalleled patriot. Emulate him, and you, too, will hear the voice of the Lord say to you what I'm sure your Dad has by now already heard, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." We love you, John, Debbie and family

Scott was a fellow Marine and a friend with whom I enjoyed many great professional discussions. He thought deeply about national defense issues and regularly offered insightful observations about important issues. We also shared a passion for our lawns and frequently exchanged tips on how to grow tall fescue in Tidewater’s stressful environment. I will miss seeing him in my visits to JFCOM. His family and friends are in my prayers. LtGen Paul K. Van Riper, USMC (Ret.)

Dearest Ann and families...
Both Mike and I feel for you and your loss of a great man. Scott was so talented and funny and smart. And even though we, too, haven't spoken to you guys in years... you remain in our hearts. And on our walls! Scott's limericks and your pictures hang in front of me always... never far away and never will be. I hope you feel some peace sometime soon when the shock wears off. I'm sending my love and will also add Mike's thoughts:
"When I think of Scott -and I have on many occasions --the first thing I remember is his total exuberance for life, and the day. I never saw Scott frown--never heard a disparaging comment, his wit was unbounded, and his intellect frightened many, except those who listened. Trusted advisor, and most important-- friend. I shall miss him and the world is a sadder place without him. Ann, Todd, Kate and Jack--our thoughts are with you in this trying time. But, I am almost certain your father would want to hear a wise crack about him from you when you speak of him." ~~Mike

"The tide recedes but leaves behind
bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down, but gentle warmth
still lingers on the land.
The music stops, and yet it
echoes on in sweet refrains. . .
For every joy that passes,
something beautiful remains."
May you all find comfort in your beautiful memories of Scott.

Ann and family, I can't begin to describe how saddened we were to hear of Scott's passing. What an unpleasant surprise. We always enjoyed his wit and smile. Although we haven't seen each other in years, you have remained, fondly, in our thoughts. We had some great times together. I really enjoyed working with Scott.

Ann, Kate, Todd & Jake,
I first met Scott after I retired from the Army in 2003 when I started working at JFCOM, J9 as part of the White Cell. Scott was a wonderful person to work with and spoke of his family often with loving kindness. He is already missed by many whose lives he touched.
I leave you with a scripture verse from God's Word that I pray comforts you in your time of need.
"As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him." Psalm 18:30
God's peace to you!

We became firm friends, corresponding regularly, even after their return to the US. We will miss him greatly and send our sincere good wishes to Ann, Kate, Todd & Jake.

Ann,
I was so sad to hear of your loss. There are no words to express the great loss that I know you and your family are feeling. I know it's so inadequate to offer words at this time. Just know that we are praying for you to find the strength to get through the hard days ahead as you try to adjust to this new realm without the prescence of the love of your life.
God bless you and keep in his hands. We are all here for you and Jake.
Love,
Ruth and Mike Simmons

He Only takes the Best
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "Come to Me". With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
