Scott and I never got to meet unfortunately, but his wife Sherry and I worked together. She was very nice and always spoke so highly of him. Scott really must've been quite the guy from what I've heard. I'm so sorry to hear.. My prayers go out to their family and friends. Rest in peace, Scott. God bless you.
