Dear Scarrone Family. It seems to me that I have know Bob Scarrone for most of my life, and I have. We went to SMHS a year apart. We became police officers for the PA for the following 20 or more years. I will always remember Bob as a gentelman and as a friend. I will pray for Bob and for you, his beloved family. Bob Scarrone was for me simply a great person to know and a true friend. Some folks are blessings in our lives. Bob was one of them. Thank you God for Bob Scarrone. Rest in Peace Friend.

To the Scarrone Family, I will always smile when I think of your Dad, and I have thought of him often over the years as my kids have become involved in sports. I will forever see him at a football game or a baseball game or a basketball game, cheering us on and making sure the officials did their jobs right. A great man, he taught us all great lessons.
