Dear Dick & Kay, I sorry to hear about Scott. Growing up Scott and I enjoyed great adventures, including sailing and scouting that I share with my girls on a regular basis. Thank you for being such an active part of my youth and shaping my life.

Dick, Kay and family,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I am deeply sorry for your loss.
I have such great memories from when Scott and I were in Boy Scouts. Dick led us on so many hikes and campouts I have lost count of them all. And I remember “rescuing” Kay to earn my merit badge for lifesaving (She was a great teacher). I always felt welcomed in your home and appreciate the leadership and friendship from you both.
Scott touched many lives and will be dearly missed.
Sincerely,
Jay Idt

Dear Kay and Dick,
I'd like to share a story. I first met Scott in 6th grade at Central elementary. Scott just HAD to give me his 'personel initiation' to 6th grade and I'll never forget his unique ability to make me feel as though I should have stayed in 5th grade at Park School. Needless to say, we didn't hang out much.
As a fellow member of KHS "83" the years turned into decades and at our 20th class reunion,I found myself wanting to sit next to Scott because he was so damn funny.His perspective on life was so positive and he had many of us classmates literally crying with his sense of humor and one liners. He and I ended up leaving the party (after the party) at the same time(the sun wasn't quite up yet)and as we walked north on 4th ave., we began remembering our short initial meeting way back in 1976. Scott showed me a side of himself I only hope more people saw in his last days. He apologized for 'initiating' me into 6th grade and as we laughed about it all I could think of was how genuinely sincere he was and found myself wishing that I had taken the time to get to know him better during our school years. In those few short minutes walking home he and I shared a moment that I will never forget.He had a gift of making people laugh not only on the surface, but from the heart.I will truely miss him.
God Bless, Chad

Heavenly Eyes and Ears:
My sympathy to the Lush family. Scott was an incredible individual with a great love for the Lord.
He inspired and brought laughter to those around him.
I and the men of New Life Assembly will greatly miss Scott. We have great memories of him joining us at Christian Men's events and sharing donuts together before church.
Scott now has Heavenly eyes and ears and that brings joy to me and even more joy to him!
We love you Scott and look forward to worshiping with you again in Heaven
