I think it is finally sinking in. Scott and I were teammates on Alpine Rescue Team for seven great years. I have never known a finer man or a nicer man. His dedication to helping others having the worst day of their life is an inspiration to all of us, as was evident at the service today. I miss him already.

Dear Diane, Amy(and sons), and Angie - I was so saddened to hear of Scott's passing. I am glad his suffering is over, and know that this world was a better place because he lived. I will keep you all in my prayers. Peggy Hugger, R.N., CNI Brain and Spinal Tumor Program

Dear Amy and my lost friend Scott - I am an old freidn that has been out of Scott's world for quite some time. I went to kindergarten & pre-school with Scott. When I hear do Scott's passing I of course reflected on years since passed and thought about the early years of life in Highland Park and how I miss those simple days with friends like Scott Amdur. We weren't that close, but we knew each other, our parents were freinds and we had mutual friends that were part of our world. Scott I know you will not ever get the chance to read or hear these words from me, but I just want your kids to know what a great guy you were. My heart goes out to you and your family and kids. Love Curt Wilson
