It's been quite a few years but I think of Scott often and I miss him. And I hope that you're doing well Sam because he loved you with all his heart.
I remember we had him over for Easter at my grandparents and he was such a good sport about the fact that we had to sit at the kids table. He always knew how to make me laugh.

Dear Sandy,
I am so sorry to have heard of Scott's passing. I thank you very much for the opportunity and honor of helping Scott in his hour of need. He truly was a trooper throughout his remaining days. God and his angels were truly walking with him since I first met him and are guiding him now. God has called him home to bring peace and rest to his suffering and his mission on earth is now done, so shall he begin another by God's side. May God Bless and Guide you and your family and may time heal your hearts and his memory bring you joy. Thank you again for the honor of servicing Scott.

Dear Sam,

Our family was devastated when we learned of the accident and the loss of Scott. We have so many wonderful memories of Scott that will never fade. He was a frequent and very welcome visitor at our home and we always enjoyed his coming. Amongst our most vivid memories of Scott is thinking about Scott being in the car with us at Woodstock. Once he got in the car he started talking, we started laughing and he kept on talking beyond the car ride and we kept on laughing. He was a delight to have around, a wonderful friend to Cara and the rest of the Chard family and we will all miss him terribly. He had a certain "twinkle" about him that made you feel good when you were in his presence. Scott's life was tragically short but we will always remember and enjoy that "twinkle" and all the good times we had with him.

Sam, you have our deepest sympathies.

Dear Sam and Ken,
I am truly heartbroken to hear of Scott's passing. Scott was one of my closest friends. I will miss his smile, his laugh, his constant commentary on anything and everything. He had a warmth and sweetness to him beneath his fierce intelligence and quick wit. My heart goes out to you and your family. I will miss Scott dearly and think of him every day. I am confident that we, his friends, will keep his memory alive.

I didnt know scott very well. He was good friends with my brother Rich. We met a few times and he left a lasting impression. He was respectful, kind, funny and smart. And LOVED to chat! I wished I had had a chance to get to know him better, because people like that dont come along very often. My deepest sympathies go out to Scotts family. I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. He is in a better place! RIP Scott.
