Not sure what to say?

I was a manufactures rep. For a van conversion company that sold to Scott´s dealerships. Scott became a good friend and one of the best owners I had the pleasure to work with. The industry will miss a great man.

I only had brief interactions with Scott but I found him to be a most honorable and sincere person. I appreciate my exposure to such a good person. May God Bless.

Sad to learn of Scott´s passing. I worked for he and his family back in the early 90´s at the Chevy store. Ollie and Scott taught me everything good and honest about the car business and after 30 years in funeral service I got back in the car business and credit their mentorship from many years ago to my success today. My heartfelt sympathy to all the Gjovik family as you remember Scott´s zest for life and celebrate his legacy.

I was a friend of Scott's back in the 90s when we both lived on the Northside of Chicago. Our regular routine was to meet for beers Friday night and enjoy the festivities on Rush Street. Scott was always a lot of fun and I considered him a good friend. I am very sorry to see Scott's passing - the world will miss a genuinely kind, gracious person.

Scott and I were roommates our first year at Northwestern Law School, possibly one of the most miserable years of our lives. However, as I write this, I cannot help but smile as I recall the humor he brought to that year. What a character he was! Being a man who brought happiness to others is a wonderful legacy.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
