Jennifer and Spencer, my heart breaks for you and your family during this difficult time. As both your Aberdeen neighbor and Scott's co-worker at Phoenix POI, where our offices faced each other, I came to know what a good person he was. On many occasions, he spoke kindly and highly of his boy, Spencer. Please know that you're in my thoughts and prayers in your loss.
