I was a teen when I met your father and felt he was a good guy. I talked with him as an adult and had the same impression. Your father was a "good egg" and I respected him.

I first met Scott in a Thursday golf group. I played with Scott many times and he was always very enjoyable to be with. He is a special person and I have been missing him at golf over the past year. I like Scott and have lost a friend.
God bless Scott and his family in this time of sorrow.

The Orsie golf group will missed Scott not because of his great golf but because of his wonderful sense of humor. He was always quick with a joke and a warm smile and a good friend.
