Dear Bartholomew Family,

My sincerest condolences to you on Scott's passing. While I worked with him intermittently for only a few years, I was always struck by his kindness, positivity, and willingness to help others. I distinctly recall him going out of his way to set up time with me as I entered a new role, so he could offer his advice, suggestions, and to wish me well. He was a dear man, a trusted colleague, and a selfless person who will be missed.

My sincerest hope for you is that fond memories of Scott give you strength and hope during this most difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Warmly,
Tom Borda

Scott was the very first person to set up time to talk with me when I started a new job and became his coworker. He wanted to welcome me, to find out where he could help, and we also talked a lot about family. It was clear he cared a lot about his work but also knew how to keep things in perspective and not sweat the small stuff.

I met Scott as a parts supplier to his companies service business. I quickly learned how kind, professional, empathetic and caring he was. His qualities transcended work. We became quick friends and would help each other out on many common work issues over the years. I respect and admire him tremendously. I am retired but have thought of him often. To the family. What a tremendous man! My sincere condolences to you all. He will be missed by all that know him.

This news was shocking and sad. I've known Scott for our entire 30 years together at Consumers Energy. Our conversations always went back to the beginning days as Meter Readers and then transition to Faith and Family. Scott was a friend, a trusted and respected leader and a great man who had Christ and his family front and center in his life. May the truth of Heaven carry you and bring you peace at this difficult time.

I had the pleasure and privilege to know Scott for the past 15 years. He was truly one of the nicest men I have ever met. You could tell he was genuine from the moment you met him. He went out of his way on numerous occasions to stop by my office to share business management tips and tricks he had seen on YouTube channels. There was no agenda, he was just trying to help me run my business better. He was a great friend for anyone who had the privilege to know him and he will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

More than a co-worker, a friend, mentor, family. I'm so thankful and blessed to have known Scott. He has made such an impact on my life - from my career, life, faith. I pray I become a leader as caring as him some day. He was taken from us too soon, but I know the Lord needed him more. You will never be forgotten Scott, rather cherished and celebrated in the Consumers Energy family, forever. We love you and miss you!
