I was so sorry to hear of Scott´s untimely passing. Although I didn´t know him personally, I knew of his kindness to my daughter Alexis and that speaks volumes about the kind of man he was. He made a difference and will be remembered.
Please accept my most sincere and heart felt sympathy.

I remember how easy it was to talk to you. Conversations with you never felt rushed or small; they unfolded slowly, like we both knew there was no better place to be than right there, listening and being heard. You had a way of making time feel generous. Even silence with you felt full, as if understanding didn´t always need words.
You taught me more than you probably realized. Not through lectures or advice, but through the way you lived. Your love and admiration for your girls was endless. You showed others that kindness could be steady instead of loud, that loyalty could be quiet and constant, and that showing up-again and again-was its own form of devotion. You taught me how to listen without planning a response, how to be patient with people as they became themselves, and how honesty didn´t have to be sharp to be true.
What I remember most was how you showed your friendship in the little things: checking in when you didn´t have to, remembering details no one else noticed, staying present even when life was heavy. You made me feel seen in a way that changed me. Because of you, I learned that love doesn´t always announce itself-it proves itself over time.
We spent so many hours just talking, getting to know each other layer by layer. Those conversations shaped how I understand connection now. You helped me become more open, more thoughtful, more human. Even after you´re gone, your voice still shows up in my mind, guiding me toward patience, yet reminding me it´s ok to feel exactly how I do.
I´m so thankful you reached out just the other day- same old way with humor and kindness. I am comforted that we met and spent so much time together when we did. It just proves that a chance encounter can turn into such a long lasting friendship. Hard times became more manageable with a good friend to battle with and for. I carry what you gave me forward-in how I treat people, in how I listen, in how I love. You are still teaching me, even now.
