Aunt Bev, Rachel, Dave and Family,
I am deeply saddened about Uncle Dan's passing. I will truly miss his phone calls, especially his signature sign-off, "catch you down the highway." Those conversations meant so much to me.I will always cherish the memories of his visits to Arizona and the joy he brought during those times.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. I am here for you all sending you love and strength as you navigate through your loss.
With sympathy and love,

My deepest sympathy to you Aunt Bev, Rachel and David. I only have love, respect, and gratitude for Uncle Dan. It was always a good time being around and related to the “Scott” clan. One thing that has transcended the past few generations is love for family. I always felt protected and loved around all of them. My fondest memory is going camping and to Pizza Hut when we were kids with Uncle Dan and Aunt Bev. Rest peaceful and give everyone a great big hug and kiss from me. I know you are with your brothers. Eternal gratitude for your service.

There is a lot to say about Dan, but first I would like to say something on my Granma's behalf since she is not able.
Dan was a sweet boy and was always helpful to Bill and I. We cherished helping to bring him up. He was always quick to help in any situation. We enjoyed all times he would stop by and have coffee with us and chat about his family and the brothers.
I would like to say Dan was a Great great uncle. Depite is tough exterior and sense of humor he deeply cared and loved every member of the Scott clan and beyond. I have a lot of great memories with Dan and respected him a whole lot. Especially for all the help he provide to my Grandma and Grandpa. Rest easy Dan your Brother's are with you now.
