My sincere condolences to all. Scott got me thru tough times after i lost my full time job in 1982. Had fun working there for 4 years with great co-workers. Never knew we were born only 4 days apart (10/29/55).
GOD BLESS.

Deb, Colleen, and Keri, We are so sorry to hear about Scott. We have so many fun memories of racing at Port Royal with you guys. Scott & Bruce racing and Deb, you and I in the infield with the kids - toys sprawled all over the blankets! Also I remember one particular New Year's Eve when you called, Deb, and said you were tired of the same old New Year's Eve parties; let's go to Atlantic City you said! So off we go and had a blast. Remember "Happy New Year" in the parking garage because Bruce locked the keys in the car? So much fun with you guys over the years. We've been thinking of you, your family, and those memories a lot this week. Hugs and prayers to you all! Love, Bruce & Janna Kline

Debbie and family, I am so sad to hear of Scott's passing. A fond memory that I just have to share with you. 10th grade Biology class (Mr. Ringler) Scott shared with me that he was unsure how to go about asking you for a date. He worried that since he didn't have a car, you wouldn't be too interested in him. I assured him that he could put you on the handlebars of his bike and you would be genuinely thrilled. What a sweet love story you two shared. I wish you could have had many more years together but I know that you will have the comfort of loving memories. Blessing to you and your beautiful family.

Dear Debbie and family
Dee Dee and I would like to pass along our deepest sympathies to you and your family. We grew up with Scott and were close enough to consider him our brother. Scott was a special friend that we had the pleasure of growing up with and was special enough to employ our son Derek. He will be truly missed which you already know I'm sure. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family and may he rest in peace. Love Tim and Dee Sweitzer
