My thoughts and prayers go out to Scott's wife and family. I will always remember him as being a thoughtful and caring person. Scott had great love for Vicki, their children, family and a passion for the pursuit of the outdoors through his hunting & fishing.
I was saddened to hear of Scott's passing. I met Scott when we both worked at the Canton Police Department, over the years of working alongside of him I knew him to be a thoughtful and caring person both on and off duty. During that time, we became friends, when Scott left working in Law Enforcement we lost touch with each other. Years later we met, what I remember the most about that meeting while visiting with Scott it seemed like, we had only talked yesterday.
