I recall Scott in Quito's Orchestra during our 6th grade music schedule. This one time he was told by the conductor to "beat the drum" a certain way and Scott nodded. I recall his disposition and his kind face as he learned.
May comfort be with your family.

Scott was in my kindergarden class and several others throughout our elementary years at Quito; if I could find my yearbooks I would look at his teenage picture but instead I have to go way back in my memories ~ I vividly recall his freckles, startling blue eyes and the fact that he was always smiling. How lovely to know he played in the Jazz Band at Westmont! I did not remember that (both my children play in the Jazz Band at their high school so I know how cool that is :) What a great person he surely was to be involved in such varied activities throughout his life. I was very sorry to read of this loss and my heartfelt condolences go out to his family.

Our hearts go out to all who loved Scottie, and who knew the many ways he shared his special gifts and talents with so many in need of what he so generously offered. He was a kind and giving man whose impact will live on in the lives of many.

I would like to exppress my condolences to Scott's family on his passing. I knew Scott as a fellow Quito Little League player.
I also reunited with Scott in High School. I remember Scott as easy going, a talented drummer, and a good person.

I acknowledge Scott for his community service and making a difference for all the young people he mentored and coached. His impact on our coimmunity will remain with us for a long time.

With sincerest sympathy,

I will forever remember Scott from Westmont Jazz Band . . . I was the "groupie". Even though I played in regular band I wasn't a member of the Jazz Band. I'd follow to all the Christmas shows and help set up the drum set and I would wind up playing bells or some other misc. instrument. I never forgot Scott, thinking of him has always brought me warm memories.
