Dear Donna & Family

I have many fond memories of Scott from the 70's & 80's when we hung out in Des Plaines. He was part of many fishing trips we took up north with the guys from high school. I have included one photo from one of the trips in the mid 80's on my boat up at Lake Gogebic MI. We had a lot of fun over the years befor we moved on to marrige and kids. You visted me and my wife in Elgin back in the early 90's which was the last time I saw Scott. I am saddend by his passing and I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Dear Donna and Family,

I cherish the love all of you have given me. I am so proud of my Bro and the way he became such a wonderful person in his life. Helping people when all he had to give was love and friendship. It makes me so proud to have a Brother like him. I miss him already. Walking out of the store tonight the chill went through me and I thought oh Scott would be so cold. He is not as he is healthy and warm and with Mom and Jim.
Love you Bro........
