Scott, they say cousins are your first friends, so very true. Thank you for being a sweet, loving, caring boy who grew into a man. You showed all of us who knew and loved you how to live a life of goodness, humor in everyday life and especially being a person of great character. My memories from a young age to now somehow bring you even closer to my heart. Your hugs and sweet disposition will live on in all of us, your Kathy, your son, daughter, and granddaughter learned well from your example of how to live life.
I will hold you in my heart filled with memories forever!
