I knew Scott through a friend who was a suitemate of his in Ehringhaus our freshman year. I spent most of my down time in that suite with those guys. I'm deeply saddened to learn of Scott's passing. My deepest sympathies on his loss.

Lamar and Carol,
We are saddened to hear of Scott's passing. We think back to his very early years at Derita Baptist Church. He was always quick with a grin and a hug. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Scott was my Grand Master (and Grand Poobah) and initiated me in to the fraternity in my freshman year at Chapel Hill in 1988, ... and I can still vividly hear his voice and funny laugh and see his kind and welcoming smile in my mind 21 years later. The House, the Lake Norman community, the city, the Tar Heel faithful, God's faithful and the world will miss him. I am truly sorry for your loss and wish I could be there in person today to share it; he is gone so soon from all of us. Others, however, are warmly welcoming his arrival to a more beautiful and permanent Carolina blue home in heaven and warm hands are guiding him along his way.

Lamar and Carol,
I am so saddened to hear about Scott. I think about him going to UNC and working with the girls at Lake Norman Magazine. What a leader he became to our growing lake area. Always working, always friendly, always polite and respectful to all. This is the way I will remember your dear son.My prayers are with you both.

Dear Mr and Mrs Hinkle,
I was shocked to hear of Scott's passing. I was his fraternity brother in Chapel Hill. I remember taking a picture of Scott painting the bathroom stalls at the house (must have been a pledge project). I wish we had spent more time together; however I have good memories of our time together at Chapel Hill. He was such a friendly person. I think of him often and will miss his jovial spirit.

Scott had asked me to be the editor at LKN Times in the mid 1990s but I turned him down because I was pursuing graduate school. I wrote for the competition but he was a tough act to match; very genuine and full of integrity. I am sorry for your loss.

Carol and Lamar, I am so sorry for your loss. Scott was a reporter/editor with The Lake Norman Times and I was one of many he worked with at McGuire Nuclear Station. But he was more than a reporter, he was a friend and I am saddened to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

As a fraternity brother of Scott's, my only regret is that we only overlapped one year at the fraternity house (he was a senior when I joined). Scott was always so genuine, engaging, supportive and vibrant with an excellent sense of humor. My best to family and others touched, his passing is such a loss.
