To the Melanson family.
My thought and prayers to you. I have so many memories of Scott and your family. When I was younger and would ride my bike down the hill to visit and I would always crash in the sand at the bottom. He thought me to go faster, after a few tries it worked. We would go down back and cut forks off an old bike and make a choppers out of our bikes. I loved going down to the shop having beers and getting current with all the Dunstable news. He was a part so many of us and will be missed.

My condolences to Scott's whole family and friends! He has left us way to soon! He will be missed very very much! Scott was a long time friend of mine that we flew pigeons together. It's a very sad day!

Sending my sympathies much love to Scott's family.
I always appreciated the care and kindness he showed to the horses at the farm. They trusted him and he took good care of them. He was a great conversationalist and it was nice to hang out at the barn just to "chat".

`Scooter´ as I fondly referred to Scott particularly in his younger years for his love of all things motorcycles. Particularly when I saw him on his ZX 7 doing a wheelie in front of his house on n 1988 while his father was screaming at him!
Scott always helped me on my old plow trucks and constantly bailed me out of mechanical trouble.. his awesome father did too.
He was always good to me and I will miss him.
Godspeed Scooter.
