I was very disappointed I did not make services for my best friend. Scott was my best friend. We spent weekend hiking and camping. We talked daily sometimes several times. I will miss him. RIP Scott

I am so saddened to hear of Scott´s passing.. I haven´t seen him since we were teens, all our friends hung out together at the Palmer Pool. I have fond memories of him and his brother Jon. To his family I give my condolences. Donna
