My deepest sympathy to the Bickford family. Scott was employed, after his retirement from the military, in the 21st Maintenance Group as a Government Service supervisor. I was commanding the group at that time. Scott was an outstanding supervisor and person. He will be sorely missed.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you in this time of loss. I worked with Scott since the late 90's both when he was in the military and afterwards. He was a good man and a good friend.

To Scott's Family

I met Scott when he arrived at Peterson AFB and was fortunate enough to work with him for quite some time. He was a great co-worker and an even better friend. He is missed by many people here in Colorado Springs. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My prayers and condolences go out to Scott's family. Scott and I were good friends for a few years while we were stationed together at Peterson AFB and we traveled extensively together on Temporary Duty. Since I left the Springs we kind of lost touch, but there've been times when I'd see certain cars or hear certain songs that I'd think of him. RIP Brother.

To the Bickford family,

Scott was a kind and wonderful person and it was a pleasure to have known him. Our paths crossed as a result of our being stationed together at Peterson AFB, in Colorado Springs. We spent numeorus hours on road trips working together and those times are etched into my memory.
God Bless your family and you're in my prayers.
