2011 LUSCAN REUNION AT S MOLINE RESIDENCE

April 26, 2012

To the Moline family: Our hearts are with you in this time of sorrow. Our sincere thoughts and prayers are with you.

We are completely shocked at the sudden death of Scott. Scott was more than just our adopted member of the LUSCAN family; he was an amazing person. We will miss his pleasant smiles.

In July 2011, Scott was so kind and considerate to host our non-profit charitable organization at their residence, and we all feel welcomed and had lot of good fun. Surely, we will miss him in many LUSCAN reunions.

May God give him eternal rest and may his soul rest in peace.

On behalf of the Loretenos in the U.S.A. and Canada (LUSCAN), we extend our prayers and sympathy.

Prospero Galido
President, LUSCAN

I have nothing but good memories of Scott and am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. He was far too young but I supposed God had other plans. There is comfort in knowing that he is with his big sister Carol who also was one of the nicest people I've had the pleasure of knowing and gone too soon. I send my deepest sympathy to the Moline family. He will forever be in my memory as someone with the biggest heart.

Thor, Joan, family. I'd known Scott since his first store on Lincoln; contacted me about insuring it. Got to know him a bit better, wish now lots better. He entrusted more ins.needs over past few yrs.but I (now stupidly) kept my distance. Would have loved to join in a cigar smoke & talk philosophically with him.... now have a direct line with him.

Brother Scott,
Even though I hadn't known you very long, it was always a pleasure to be with you in Bible study, breakfast, and to play cards, drink scotch and smoke cigars.
We will miss you, but will see you again.

I was so sad to receive the news of Scott's passing. I was a classmate with him at Nathan Hale. I enjoyed getting special time with him at reunions to catch up about our lives. This last July, i was lucky to have had yet another special conversation with him. He had a sparkle in his eyes and always smiling. A sweet soul with such a loving heart.

I am so sorry to hear of Scott's passing. I extend my sympathies and condolences to his loved ones. I first met Scott in 1999 as a billboard sales person and he was the kindest cold-call client I ever called on! But that's not surprising, after getting to know Scott better over the years, turns out it was not in his nature to be anything but kind and sweet, even to a sales person randomly calling him. I am so fortunate to have had the chance to know Scott. There are few other people I know that are as generous with kindness as Scott. He was a great man and will be missed.

Please accept my deepest heartfelt symphaty on the shocking passing of Scott. I remember the 1st time I met Scott 15 years ago when he came to my store to pick up some work. I had no idea that he was in a wheel chair until he got out of his Van and my heart sank seeing this young man disabled. I opened that heavy door for him and I was greeted with a warm and caring smile, a wonderful personality and determination like no other. That determination made him successful in his work and every heart that he touched. You will be missed so much Scott.
