Not sure what to say?

I wanted to express my condolences. I had hoped to speak with you at the funeral but had to leave rather abruptly. I worked on many cases with Scott while he was at DHHS. I was always glad to see him on my cases because I knew he would do everything in his power to see our mutual clients succeed. If I joined a case later in the process he would always reach out to make sure I had all of the information - even what was not in a file or routinely shared by others. I feel fortunate to have known...

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I met Scott through my husband, Irv Lesher, who was a fraternity brother of Scott´s. I had the privilege of seeing Scott twice a year for fraternity reunions, and Gwen and Orin. Scott was kind, intelligent, and committed to making life better for others. I will miss him. Sending you peace and strength during this sad time. Laurie

Please accept my most sincere condolences. Scott was a dear friend and fraternity brother. I will miss our luncheons as we shared our life adventures for over 55 years. He was truly a gentle man who cared deeply about others.

I knew Scott from the many years of working at DHHS. He was an extremely hard worker and very compassionate about the clients he served. I remember him coming out of his own pocket to purchase items for clients . Numerous times I´d find him working in the office well into the evening hours. He was always positive and kind. He loved his daughters and will be missed.

Scott was in the fraternity when I was there, and we knew each other during that period. We retired to Leesburg Florida in 2010. Scott came to visit us twice in the ensuing years. I visited with Scott at the picnic hosted by Howie Penrod, in 2022 I think. I spoke at length with him, and filled his plate from the banquet table. Scott was a genuine good person. He will be missed.

Scott was the Frat brother of my husband. We met at several social events. I didn't know him in our youth, but he was the ultimate gentleman when we got together. Great sense of humor, intelligence about current events, and a wonderful conversationalist. I will miss seeing him at the reunions.

Jerry (Fraternity brother) and I want to extend our deepest condolences to Scott's family and friends.

Scott was one of a kind. I had the privilege of working with him for many years at DHHS. He touched so many lives with his compassion, acceptance and dedication and treated everyone with respect. I could go on and on. He spoke often and fondly of his daughters and their families. My husband and I ran into Scott February 4th at the doctor´s office and, despite his circumstances, was the same upbeat Scott we had grown to know and love. He will be missed

Scott was one of the brightest lights that I have ever met. I can only imagine how much you as his family and closest friends will miss him based on how often I have missed him and thought of him since he retired from DHHS. Last week I was before Judge O'Brien and remembered when she referred to him as "The Grandpa" on a very complex case because he was so very very good with the toddler children. However, he was equally as good if not better with the older children. I remember one of his...
