I am sorry for your loss. I just learned of Scott's passing. What a shock it was. I went to school with Scott since 5th grade. They are right about the P-coat. He was so handsome and the love of my life, (in 5th grade), but we remained good friends always. I lost track of him since he worked for McDonald's. That was the last time I saw him. Started looking for him again when I learned of this. I am so very sorry for all that knew him. He is truly missed. Kathy Fulton

I know Scott is missed by all even more today than a year ago. My thoughts and prayers still go out for you, his family and loved ones. May the love, strength, and endurance that comes from God lift you up and carry you during your darkest days. Blessings to you all.

I was so sorry to learn of your loss. I knew Scott at Handley Junior High, where he was kind, unpretentious, and the first person I ever met with a pea coat. Obviously he made an impression on me, and I know he will be greatly missed.

Dear Lisa & family,
Yesterday Tracy Crissup informed me of your loss. Prior to that time, I was not aware of Scott's illness and what your family had been going through over the past year. Our love and prayers go out to all of you. I first met Scott on a KRLD bus trip to Dallas Cowboys Training camp. He had such a great sense of humor and zest for life. I was excited years later when I worked with you at KRLD and realized you were going to marry Scott. Scott has touched the lives of so many in a very positive way and will truly be missed. Our sympathy to you and your family in this time of sorrow.
Love,

I worked with Scott many years ago during the mid-80's at Moroch & Assoc's. I can attest to Scott's integrity and friendly demeanor. He was truly one of the most pleasant people I have ever worked with. I was surprised to hear of his passing. Our friendship did not go beyond our working relationship. So as I moved away from the area, we never kept in touch. My mother just emailed me this morning, as she lives in the area, and the mention of someone who worked at one of my past jobs caught her attention. I'm glad she told me. Memories come back that remind me of who Scott was, and that he did touch the life of everyone he worked with. I will definitely keep his family in my prayers, and look forward to seeing him once again at the end of my life in this world.

I was so very saddened to hear of the loss of Scott. Scott was the epitome of "style, grace and professionalism" I have rarely in my life (personally or professionally), ever met anyone who met his likeness and degree of such wonderful attributes. He was the best! Peace be with you and your family.
