I was friends with Scott at Calvin Theological Seminary, and enjoyed connecting with him through the years. I appreciated how Scott was fun with keen sense of humor, but never unkind. He cared about the church, the faith, good theology, and people. My wife worked with him for a few years and found him to be an encouraging colleague.
