Deena,
Scott was always such a great giving person. Even in our short time with Scott he made impressions on our children that very few people make the time for. He was always giving an never expecting anything in return. As weeks follow please know that you can count on us for anything at all.

Words can not express my sadness right now for Scott and his family. Scott was a wonderful man, father and son, brother and best friend to Deena, my good friend that I have known since Morgan was 6 months old. Morgan could not have had a better father. I am smiling thinking about the fun that Deena and Scott and I had at the Auto Show, and the fun we had at dinner at with family one night. Scott always put his family first. He was happy when he left for his trip, and that is how all of us should remember him. Happy, in love, a great father, son, brother and friend. God Bless Scott, Morgan Rose, Deena, John and Leah and Dan. May Morgan grow up with the beautiful memories of her father Scott.
