I am so sorry. I did not hear about Scott until Sunday from a mutual friend. I moved to Munster at the end of third grade and Scott was the first friend I ever made in Munster, living just 2 doors away on Tulip. He was a wonderful friend. I'll never forget how he taught me how to shoot tennis balls out of a tube by taping a tin can to the bottom and putting lighter fluid in the can and lighting it. I have lots of great memories from my childhood thanks to Scott and Debbie. Thanks for being great neighbors and my first Munster friend.

My deepest sympathy to the DeBoer family. Scott and I lived on the same street and were at Illiana Christian H.S. together. I have many fond memories of Scott during those years. He was such great fun to be around. I pray that God will comfort his family during this time of loss.

To The DeBoer Family,
Scott and I worked together at auto dealers several times over the past 6 years and I was deeply saddened when I heard of his passing. It is said that your effect on this world is measured by by the friends you leave behind and Scott had many a friend. His sense of humor and compassion for others will truly be missed.

To The DeBoer Family,
So sorry to hear about Scott. We both were in his class at Illiana Christian HS and therefore knew him all these years. It was not long ago that we talked with him, heard about what he was up to and listened to him tell us how proud he was to be a grandfather. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as his parents, his children and his grandchild. May God give you peace and comfort during this difficult time.

I was unfortunate to never have met scott. I have met many of friends in his circle and have heard such good thing about him and what he has contributed to the healthcare profession. I am saddened by the loss of such a great person and feel that even though I never met Scott and was never honored to attend one of his presentations, I feel I know him. To his family my heart felt sympathy's.
