Scott, you made us all laugh even when you were in pain! ...and all the pranks, stuffing parts in gloves, moving the mouse off the square @ ATE testing so the program wouldnt work and Totally confusing the technician, changing the chair-heighth, turning off my iron when I wasnt paying attention, and of couse, always ready to help anyone who was new or hadnt enough knowledge of machines that you knew so well. I'm sorry you couldn't find me this past week, we had a scarry car accident and all were sick over the Holidays, you were much missed when you left the shop and even though I am happy you are pain free, I am so sad and am missing such a good friend, I know your in Gods hands, until we see you in heaven where I know you'll be trying to knock off Halo's! Your Best Friend, Sharon

Stay close to your parents they will need your strength to see them through only your love from heaven will keep them healing. RIP my friend ??? always.

So glad I got to see Scott 2 weeks ago and remember the good times growing up as neighbors and friends. The through the marriage of my brother Wayne and Sally we all became family. I dragged Scott down the isle at their weeding at the age of 4. I made Scott mud cakes. Taught him to read Dick and Jane. We road bikes together, And I even hung may baskets on his door every may day. Lots of great memories I will treasure.
