Not sure what to say?

Your memory lives on. Gone but never forgotten, rest in peace Scott.

God I can not believe it has been over a year since you have been taken from this world. Scott I remember when we use to play hide and seek on the block in the summer time and play basketball on the basketball court on the block. I remeber when you first brought your mustang gt 5.0 with your licsene plat Mcddady then you got your elcipse. I was always glad to see you when you came to visit your grand parents then when you became a police officer you would still come to the old block of...

Trish always shared her stories and we'd watch the dvds from your vacations. She always told me in school how much she was proud of you and never worried about you cause you knew what you were doing. I look up to her ALOT. i just wish i could have met you in person instead of other ways...i heard from MANY you were a great person. you will bee missed.

Scott and I had a lot of good times together at BCP , and a lot of laughs with Squiggy,Holbert, Chuckie,Byron,Gonzo,Chris,Hammy,Finno ,Willy,Z-man,marv and another fallen commrade Posty,and many others , I just remember all the laughs and fun we had playing flag football,and basketball,and all the closeness we had back in the day, it was like we were little kids again when we were playing sports, I will miss him and his wtp{warning track power] he used to lay on me.

I'm a native of Sinking Spring and heard of this horrible tragety. Im no stranger to loss and do not wish it upon anyone. Rest in Piece and God be with you.

I still can't believe you are gone and I will never see you again. I keep hoping that I'll wake up and this will all have been a terrible nightmare and you will be here and not gone. So many things remind me of you and I think about you constantly.

You are missed, Scott, and I hope you know that. Your time here was too short ...

Scott,

It's 3 months today, I saw the reflections on ODP and I just could not bring myself to write overtop of Jared's post. Seeing your family in pain is horrible. We will continue to be there for Trish and the kids and continue to mourn for you together.

It's been a sad 3 months...

Missing you always.

Trish my name is Tony Grande I just found out a couple of days ago. I am so sorry and I'm at a loss for words. Scotty and I went to Wilson together and kept in touch off and on when I was home. I live in Italy and don't call home much so there was no way to know of your terrible loss. Keep your head up and think of your children when you feel down because they are the ones keeping his memory alive they will be the one important thing in your life that will help you get through this, plus all...
