Dear Sandy, Sheree and Scotty,
I'm so sorry for your loss and that of the community. Scott was a very loved member of my earliest years living in Seattle. He was a father figure to me because I was fortunate enough to have Sheree as a dear friend growing up. I will cherish the memories I have growing up having Sheree and Scotty as buddies and Sandy and Scott as "parents".
I will never forget the last time I saw Scott when I dropped in on one of my dearest neighbors, the Colello's. He showed up and had such interest in my well being though it was at least 20 years after I had moved out of the neighborhood.

The memories the Saccos gave me will last a lifetime. I will cherish them forever. Sandy, Scott and Sheree...I'm so sorry for your loss.

Love for always,

Kari Lang-Hornady

When I think of the song " Where have all the cowboys gone" I think one of them was Scott. He was a "John Wayne" kinda guy.

Sandy,
This message is from Shari and Milo. Don't know if you remember us or not. Seeing Scott's obituary brought back a lot of memories. I have had you and your family on my mind since I read about his passing and I/we need to express our sympathy to you and your family!
I'm sorry our families lost touch over the years. You and yours would have been a welcome addition to our otherwise great life! I have only the best memories of our brief but impressive friendship with you and Scott! I remember you as great people!!
Sent with love,
Shari and Milo

I always love going to the Sacco home, they always make me feel welcome. Your parties are so much fun. Big Scott at the stove, brewing up a big pot of sauce.A smile twinkling in his eyes as he says " I got some whiskey for ya!" Scott had a Big heart. He will truly be missed.

Scott will be missed. He was one of the nicest men I know. He always sat and talked when he stopped by. My thoughts and prayers go to the family.

Sandi, Scott and Sheree
I was totally blown away when I heard of Scotty's and Ramona's passing. You really think back into the memory books when a death occurs. Times when Mom and Dad and I would drive out to Uncle George's house on Sunday's, the weddings, the summer parties, the relatives living and pass. Jimmy talking with cousin "Scott" and making sure Scott had the right pot for the sauce. You know we might not talk everyday or even see each other that often but no matter what we are Sacco's and have good memories of the family that no one can ever take away. I'm thinking right now up in heaven there all around a big table, Mom cooking, and their all at peace and enjoying the food, drinks, and family. Your heart is heavy right now I'm sure, Scotty was one of the good guys, I was proud to have him as my cousin.

I'm so glad to have had the pleasure of living on the Sacco compound. Scott and I enjoyed a few beers together now and then at the end of the day. We shared some stories and laughs and I know his family will truly miss his presence. Hugs, Su Cook
