Scott was a wonderful man. I will remember talking with him for hours over our kids. I wished we lived closer so he could have influenced my boys with Boy Scouts! He will be greatly missed and was taken way to soon. The short period of time he was here on earth, he touch several lives. May he rest in peace with our heavily father until he is reunited with his loving wife Lori. God Bless you my friend!
