Scott was the first person i met when i moved to california in 1990. Scott was my housemate for my first three years, and he introduced me to the great outdoors of california, from mountain biking to the slopes of tahoe. i fondly remember his contagious laugh and love of life. although i was not in touch with scott for many years, i remember those days as if they were yesterday. All my heart felt condolences to his family.

I am so sad to hear of Scott's passing. I knew him at HP way back when we were all starting our adult lives. What I remember most about Scott is his laugh. I can hear it in my head as I sit here writing this. At work he was focused and talented while making each day a bit more fun for all of us. As a friend he was adventuresome and lighthearted. My prayers and wishing are with you all.

I am so sorry to hear of Scott's passing. Though I had lost touch with Scott in the past few years, I vividly remember him from the early days of my HP years circa '86 thru my 20's. Now, in my 40's, I realize how rare it is to know people like "Rasmatazz", as we called him back then. He was so good natured, intelligent, spontaneous, compassionate, athletic, and put smiles on the faces around him. He had the wonderful ability to put everyone at ease and was always willing to answer my pesky HPUX questions. I remember mountain biking, clubbing (dancing), spelunking, and skiing with him. I will miss him. My heartfelt and sincerest condolences to you and your family. --- Lieke

I am deeply sorry for your loss and send my condolences. I had the priviledge to know Scott since 1986 when we both started at HP. Right from start, Scott was one of the most fun-loving, active and intelligent people in our office. I always admired his ability to listen to and help others, and he always had a good laugh ready for any and all occasions. I got to spend a lot of time with him as we were transitioning from college grads into professionals (work+parties+sports) and Scott was great in each of those areas. You should know that he wasn't just friendly and fun to hang out with, but that he was one of the few people I know who really embodied the virtues of kindness, caring, honesty and respect.

Joanne,
I am so glad that I was able to see you and Scott and ski with you guys in Febrary. I am so pleased I met your beautiful kids! Keith remembers sitting next to 'Rass' in the HP response center for years. He was a good person, a good soul. Our condolences to you and your whole family. - Susanne Millar

Warm wishes,

I am saddened to hear the news of Scott's passing. I know my parents, brothers, and I always thought very highly of Scott. As kids and through High School we enjoyed alot of fun times playing ball together. My deepest condolences go out to your family.

I had a great time skiing with Scott on the few occasions I had with him in Utah. Hopefully, where he is now, every day is a powder day and every run has fresh tracks.

Dear Joanne, Jenae, Aiden, Mrs. Rasmussen, and Peter,
My condolences and prays are extended to you upon hearing of the loss of Scott, my good friend. I was very fortunate to spend many, many, many childhood hours/days with Scott playing together after school (i.e., playing catch, kicking balls, shooting baskets, climbing trees, riding bikes, etc.), outing together (e.g., Oakland A's baseball games), and sleeping over each other's homes. I will remember all the fun times we shared and can still hear him laughing and see him smiling. He was quite a guy and these memories will last forever.
I was happy to hear that Scott enjoyed life (skiing, cycling, traveling, etc.). I knew he would be a loving husband and father as I remember life growing-up in the Ramussen household. It was something special!
I'll miss Scott.
Love,
Roger Ikemoto

I first met Scott in Kindergarten at Alice Birney. We continued school together through high school at Kennedy. I still recall meeting for his birthday party at his house in Kindergarten and playing on the Sam Brannan junior high basketball team together where he was the starting point guard in 9th grade. During Scott's K-12 years, he was known as as being athletic, intelligent, quiet, and one of the most polite individuals at school. I'm very sorry to hear of his passing. My sincerest condolences go out to his family.

Dear Joanne,
I am so very sorry to hear about this tragedy in your life. You and Scott were a wonderful couple - although I did not know him well, I knew he was a sweetheart and a great father. My daughter, Erika still remembers playing with Janae when you came by our cabin at Donner two summers ago. My heart and prayers are with you and your family.

In everything there is quality and quantity. Though the quantity of time was short, the quality was obvious to all those around you. Scott's spirit lives. His influence is with all who met him. May GOD comfort you and bring peace to your family. Love, Nate, Heidi and family

Joanne, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your beautiful children during this enormous loss. I unfortunately did not know Scott personally but his love and dedication to his family was very apparent to everyone in neighborhood. Scott just beamed as he ran next to Aiden while teaching him to ride his bike always with encouragement and patience; seeing him on your front lawn teaching the kids how to ski with such love and guidance. Those are the memories I have of Scott. He was a great daddy and dedicated husband! He will be missed. I know you have a lot of friends and family but I hope you know I am here for you and will help anyway I can. Our sincere condolence's. Tamera and Troy Powell and family.
