I will forever remember Scott as this tall ray of love and light. I had the honor of working with him at Johnson Controls and of course his friendship to my husband over the years has been unmatched. I will have fun memories while looking through wedding photos of the two of you at our wedding and I can still hear his voice. He will indeed be very missed. Sincere condolences to the family.
