Scott and I were in the same fraternity at OSU, we both worked for Flying Tigers and later FedEx. We also worked a lot together when he was flying for FedEx and I was working in Air Operations and later a crew member. I do miss him. I also knew Julie at OSU....

I've known Scott since we were at Ohio State and Sigma Chi. Both of us had the same major and studied together frequently. I've known Julie since about the same time and will always remember her at many Sigma Chi Derby Day events held each Spring at OSU. I sincerely hope you and rest of your family are doing fine. Scott and I both worked at Flying Tigers and Fedex. GREAT TIMES.
ALL HONOR TO HIS NAME. In Hoc, Wayne

Julie,

Today I received The Sigma Chi fall magazine and was saddened read of Scott's passing. I have so many fond memories of Scott. He, along with Sully, were my room mates in the Sigma Chi house my first year. I remember skiing trips in Scott's brown conversion van, sailing at Leather Lips Yacht Club, OSU football, and an occasional adult beverage or two. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
