I am saddened to hear of Scott's passing. He was a friend of mine in high school. He was best friends with my boyfriend Darrell Lutz and husband to my good friend Wanda. The four of us had many fun times together. I still remember his engaging smile. I know his family and friends will miss him terribly.

To the Whitehead family, I'm sorry that I didn't find out sooner, I would have been at the service. I enjoyed Scott's company very much. He was a great person. We used to go boating together on the Susquehanna River. We shared many drinks and laughs. Cherish all of your memories.

To Donna, Brad, Josh & The Whitehead Family,
Scott had such an impact on many people's lives. I realized that tonight at the viewing. Scott was more than a friend to me, he was family. Knowing him for my entire life has made him and his family very close to me and my family. He will be dearly missed and forever remembered. Although this is such a hard time in all of our lives right now, one day we will all be reunited with Scott to have another drink on him! Every memory that I have of Scott and his family was always filled with laughter. So until we meet again, Drink on, Ride on and keep trucking Scott. We all love and miss you very much!
Love, Marci and Andy

My greatest sympathy to Donna, Kurt,Josh, Brad, Pauline and Dick, to everybody that ever had the pleasure of your friendship. It is a loss beyond measure.
Until we meet again my friend.........

Brad and Josh,
I know all to well the pain and heartache you are going through right now. I just lost my dad in August. I wish I could give you words to make everything okay for your right now and make you feel a little better, but the fact of the matter is I cannot. Please know that although you dad has physically left this earth he is still very much with you. If you need anything even to talk to someone who understands your pain please feel free to contact me. I will keep you and your families in my thoughts and prayers! Hold on tight to your memories for the memories I shared with my dad have really helped me get through this time without him being here physically.

Uncle Scott,
What to say about a man who gave so much to so many. I have so many memories from riding four wheelers to you giving me $5 per A I received on my report card, and boy did that add up!!! After my mom passed you told me you would ALWAYS be there for me and you were, that is what makes this that much harder. The best thing that you gave me are my cousins the best part of you will live on with them.
I will cherish all the times we had together and I will help Josh and Brad get through this like you helped me. I love you forever and always!
Your niece Heidi

Uncle Scott,
What to say about a man who did so much for so many. Growing up I have so many memories, from four wheeling to you giving me $5 for those A's I got on my report card. But you gave me more than that you gave me 2 cousins that I can not live without! After my mom passed it was you that told me you would ALWAYS be there for me, and you were, that makes this that much harder to take.
I will cherish all our memories forever, and I will be there for Josh and Brad like you were there for me! I love you always and forever!

Such an unexpected loss. I find it hard to find the words to express my sadness. I know we all share great memories of Scott, many of mine are from long ago, but I will hold on to the Scott I knew with his winning smile and BIG hugs...My deepest sympathy goes to all of his family.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
