Strange, just a couple days ago I thought of Scott and love of 18 Wheelers, especially the cabs. Wed build models a long long time ago. Rest In Peace.

Iva, Marco, & Kristo:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and in the future during this troubled time. We will always remember all the great camping trips with Scott and his enthusiastic "old-school" scouting memories that he brought along. He was always willing to lend a hand or an ear, and we know he treasured the time he spend with his sons outside. He brought a real child like-attitude and enthusiasm to the trips and to life. Please keep us in mind for any help or company you may need.

I am so saddened to hear about Scott's passing. I have fond memories of a canoe trip adventure with Scott and Marty Escovitz down the Delaware river. He looks just like Mel! My sympathy to all.

I'm so sorry to hear of Scott's passing. My son goes to school with Marco, and Scott was his Boy Scout Leader a few years back. I always enjoyed talking to both Iva and Scott when given the opportunity. My heart goes out to you all. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers.

Dear Penner family,
My heartfelt sympathy go out to you on the loss of Scott. I have known him since my religious school days at Beth shalom and later as a classmate at Allderdice . He was alway fun loving and lived life in a big way. may his memory be a blessing to all those lives he touched.

Kind, fun and caring. These are the words that come to mind when I think of Scott. I knew him back in our high school days and later, when he asked me to be the subject of some wonderfully creative photos which I will cherish. He was someone I thought of many times since returning to Pittsburgh, but unfortunately we didn't get the opportunity to re-connect. His memory will always be a blessing to those of us that knew him.

Scott and I went to grade school together at Colfax and stayed in loose touch all of these years. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. I'll always remember him as an independent, creative and fun loving person. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Iva, Kristo, Marco, our family is so saddened to hear of your loss. Scott was such a vital, wickedly funny, enthusiastic and headlong engager of so many things, it's just impossible to imagine the world without him. Loved all his shrewd observations on the sidelines of many soccer fields. His curiosity and intelligence were wide-ranging, but no matter where they took him, his underlying pride in, and devotion to, his family were always apparent. We wish you solace and strength.Sam, Penny, Bailey, Emilie and Jack

Scott & I had great fun as children racing slot cars, building models, his favorite being Mack Ttrucks, and having a fort in the camper. I'll miss him on my visits to Pgh. May his memory be a blessing.
