To the wonderful family of Mr. Scott,
Mark, Christine, and so on. Seeing this today has brought our hearts one step closer to God. God has taken another one of the best people that ever lived, a beautiful person that was given the ultimate gift of life at 91 years to spend with his loved ones. Mr. Scott is and will be sorely missed by all whom knew him. He has now rested in eternal life and we are certain he is now together with his loved ones passed before him. R.I.SWEET.P Mr. Bob, you were an angel from heaven on earth and you are now back home... Much respect Sir.
