So sorry to hear of your loss of my former boss. I was his secretary for several years in AIS at TWA. He has crossed my mind many times over the years. He was a pleasant gentleman to work for. He always spoke of Mary, Robert and Jack with lots of pride. I still break out with a song behind friends comments as he would do. God bless and strengthen you because Scott's absence will certainly leave a great void. The blessing is that he has left you many happy and precious memories.

Scott was a man for all seasons - loved his stories and working with him at TWA. He was such a kind and gentle man. My condolences to the family. Our computer group has just learned of his passing or you can be sure many would have been there to share memories.

Uncle Scott to me was somebody that was always there, for family and friends and his fellow man.
He also loved music, and never hesitated to start singing whether you were going to join in or not.
As for golf, he loved playing in Scotland and loved to tell me and others what we were doing wrong with our game. And yes of course he was usually right. He also didn't hesitate to tell you that, " you are doing that very well, you don't need my help."
One of the best stories for me, is when Uncle Scott and my dad traded in a car that didn't work for a car that did, ( who was the car dealer that day).
I could go on, but I'll keep a few more of these stories for my Aunt Dina and cousins, Jack and Robert and their families.
So for now I'll just say, " Rest easy, from your loving nephew Gordon.

Many prayers of comfort to you Robert, Jack, and the rest of the family. I have a lot of wonderful memories of this family growing up in Walnut Creek. I hope the memories and the wonderful times shared will help you all during this difficult time.

Such a kind , caring man . I spent so much time at their house growing up. I still remember their phone number . So many special memories. He definitely touched my life and anyone that had the pleasure of knowing him. I'll miss that chuckle of his the most. I remember when he got his first pair of Nikes, White with the red stripe! I remember him giving me and Robert fits in our games of horse . I could go in and on with memories , ones I'll never forget ! I love this family so much. Sending you all prayers for peace and comfort. My deepest sympathies. Charlie Hill III

To the man I've had the privilege of loving and calling dad for the past 28 years. I hope you are resting, you were the strongest man I've ever known. Don't worry about things here, your sons you have raised are continuing to make you proud. Thank you for continuous guidance and love. I will miss you!!
