The moment I met Scott I knew he was a great guy, I wish we had more time.

Scott was a great guy. He was very talented and taught me a lot in the kitchen. I could always count on him in a pinch.
he hired me many times and I also hired him many times. I think about him often and enjoyed my last visit with Laura and he, and there fledgling spice business.
best of luck to you Laura!
thanks

Tara, I'm so sorry for your loss. Working with Scott over the past three years was a great pleasure for me and I will always remember the tough exterior and the warm, funny, creative and caring inner person that Scott was. His leadership extended beyond the culinary program and he touched many lives. We're all better for knowing him.
Sincerely,
February 20, 2014
Dear Tara, Scott always had that special gleam in his eye's when he spoke of you and how happy and complete he felt with you in his life. Scott was and always will be a great teacher, I say will be because everything he taught to us is being passed down to others from him.He was a Mentor and very special friend. I know the Sky Peaks family will miss him deeply. Gayron Barber

Tara, you are the light in Scott's eyes, you lit up his world when you came into it. You ignighted the flame for his passion in life. We were privileged to see his face light up every time we talked about how happy he was to have found his soul mate. .

Though I only met him once - that was enough. I know that he was a well respected man by his colleagues and peers, well liked by his friends, and a tremendously talented and caring man. He left us far too early - with far to many items left in his life's bucket list. Tara and all of Scott's family - you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Please reach out if you are in need of anything.

This man was one of the best I have ever met, by far the best boss I have ever had. I have never felt so respected by someone I considered so far above me, his advice and leadership was always just what I needed, I wish I had known him better. Tara, if you are reading this please know that my wife and I think about you every day, it is difficult to refrain from intruding on such a personal event as I understand that the loss you must feel is beyond anything I could imagine. Please know that you are in our prayers.

I have known Scott for many years. We shared some amazing times while he was the top chef at our local bar in Mira Mesa " Tomcat"; We laughed we grew so close when he chose to be the best Step DAD EVER. HE Seriously gave his ALL when it came to his children. DNA doesn't make you a good Dad. But a MAN "Scott" Made that happen. This man made a difference in my husband and my life. Last time I saw him was my 50th Birthday. He catered the whole party. I felt so special and amazing because i had my own Private Chef. AND FRIEND His presence and food were incredible. He will be painfully missed. To his new wife and family I wished I had met you so we could have seen him truly happy.our love and prayers for you. Scott is in heavens arms cuddled warm and happy. He will miss his family but will be with all of you constantly. He will never leave you alone. He never has. He's not going to start now.sincerely Teresa and Tom Ainsworth
