It was just a chance meeting that I met Scott some two years ago. For some reason we both hit it off and spent most of the day talking. Although my time with Scott was short, I will always fondly remember him.

My sympathy to the family. I was in the same graduating class at S.D. Lee High as Scott and was glad to hear about his plans to develop the old school. I remember the kindness he showed my father Henry Brownlee and hope the two of them are talking old times in Heaven.

We would like to send our heartfelt condolences to Ruth and the entire family. We met Ruth and Scott during an Air Force training program in Columbus and they immediately welcomed us and made us feel like family. Their warmth and generosity touched our hearts. They invited us to their home and made us traditional southern meals, which became some of our fondest memories of our time there. Ruth attended all of the graduation ceremonies and even came to Italy for a wedding. Ruth and Scott embody warmth, kindness, generosity and family, and we are blessed to have met them. Scott will be greatly missed by all of us, and certainly never forgotten. He was a wonderful man who touched so many lives. We are heartbroken to hear of his passing, but know that his lovely spirit lives on in the family he treasured so much. We are thinking of you all during this time, and we send you all of our love.
Frank, Ilaria, Dario, Ashleih, Daniel and Femke

Haven't seen my old friend in a long, long time. But what times we had growing up! We were always pushing aside imagined boundaries and growing ourselves as we discovered the wider world. Sorry that you're gone, gone too young, I might add. Brings mortality home. Ruth and family, sorry he left us so early.
