Dear Deb, Colin and Kyle, We were all saddened when we heard Scott had passed. He was just one of those good guys that you could always count on. It was fun coaching with and against him in Salem, he was always there for the kids. We believe he must be coaching a new team now. You are all in our our hearts and prayers.

Dear Deb, Colin & Kyle, The world seems such a strange place when you can't see a love one anymore. I just lost my Mom July 1st, 2004 so this has touched me also. Scott is such a awesome guy and will continue to be forever. I know he will always be close to you and the boys. I can still see me sleeping at your house in Milford trying to get Colin out of the crib so you guys could sleep in, and at that time he was bigger than me. We always had good times together. Guys take good care of Mom. I know you will because they brought up 2 fine young men. God bless you & call me anytime. The number hasn't changed but my street address is different. All our love to your families.

Dear Debbie,Colin and Kyle



We met your mother in the 50's and your father in the 70's. We enjoyed so many years of GREAT friendship and fun. Our roads have taken us in different directions and we haven't seen as much of each other as we would have liked in recent years. However we will always remember your father having a sense of humor that kept everyone laughing. We will miss a good friend, but will remember the good times always. Your in our hearts and prayers.

It has been so long...my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Lee Ann called me and told me about Scott. I lost John suddenly on 12/30/04 and I know that there is nothing anyone can do or say to make it better. Please cherish the wonderful memories and I hope that each memory will push the pain further away.
