Thinking of you...I will always love you but I know that i have to begin to let go somehow. . . You were and always will be loved, Scott, by so many people. You touched so many lives, some that you were aware of, and many that you weren't aware of. But you made such a difference being here. Not many can say that. The world is a better place because of you! You were truly an angel here on earth......

I cant make sense of all of this, Scott. I don't understand. . . How can you be gone?! I miss you so very much. . .I don't know how to do this. . .I'm trying so very hard to do what I'm supposed to, but i'm struggling just to get by.

Scott,

I am so heartbroken that you left me. You were so sweet and kind and I will always miss your bear hugs, your laughter and warmth. What am I going to do for Xmas? Who am I going to share the beers you promised? I am so sad I should hate you, but you were so loving and I will always carry you in my heart and soul until death brings us together again.

You would have loved the bike I am thinking of buying, and I dream of the long rides we would have shared together. Thank you for showing me how much fun it is to feel the wind as I am holding on tight to you.

Be good, Scotty Dog. I will love you forever. The bar is a sad place without you.

Mindy.

Just thinking about you. . . Andrew is asleep and I am finally alone. I can feel the tears coming, and tonight, I won't fight them. I miss you, but how in inadequate does that sound????? Words don't begin to explain the depth of what I feel for you and about you! I just wish you were here. It looks like I got the new apartment. . . You know which one. Smiles. I'll move on to the next promise maybe after the first of the year, since that one will take a lot of time, but I will atleast begin the process. I promised you I would. I know you would be proud of me. Wonka misses you. . . as do we all. My Mom said to send her love and prayers to you. My Dad says mass 3 times a day (i think thats what he said) for you. They miss you.Saturday I am going on the renegade run. . .Bill Lewis has kindly offered to let me ride with him. Since all our riding gear is gone now. . . He was gonna see if he could come up with some extra gear from some of the other gals. . . All our stuff was taken, as you know by now. Hopefully though, ill get to ride. You taught me to like it. . .I was never afraid with you, except for the first lane splitting on 50 coming from placerville. You told me not to move, so I didn't. But a few times, I said "OMG, I CANT BREATHE. . . or heeeey, I'm not breathing back here.....Your answer? Since you're talking, you are breathing! LOL! Well, I have a date with quite a few tears and then some sleep. I hope God keeps you comfortable and that you know that you are loved, and yes, unconditional, as I told you months ago. You didn't understand then, but I know you do now. I'm waiting for your spirit to come talk to me sometime in my dreams.

Until then, Handsome. . . .You are always in my heart and soul.

Scotts love

There is a long road that lay’s ahead

We travel it without fear

Even though there are twists and turns

and some deep potholes.

Daily we try to avoid them.

There are days we are successful

Carefree and happy

Yet days of dark clouds hamper

our ride yet you climbed aboard

and we road as one.

Our days carefree and happy

lasted but a brief time

Just know the wind and you

Were always and ever present

We shall always be as one.

Time so cruel yet life was renewed

by your enduring presence

You gave me a gift that lives on

Despite my absence you live on

And travel this road

With the wind in your face

My memory lives on

In all who shared in my life

Know I am carefree and happy

In the saddle of God palms

With the wind in my face

And you in my heart.

Scott,

I'm Having a tough time this night. . . I miss you soooo. I went to your house yesterday to help dougy and to see for myself that you are truly not there. The warmth and love that the house had been over-filled with was gone. Dougy prepared me, but it still affected me. I spent a few minutes curled up on your bed crying, both because I missed you so much and because I knew then that it was all true, that you were truly gone and would not be coming back to us in this life. I pray that God watches over you and guides you thru this new time in your life. I know you will never forget me and that when my time comes, as it will for us all, you'll be the one waiting for me, as you always did! I love you, my dear sweet blue eyes....Now and always, for the rest of my life.

All though I never had the oppertunity to know you personaly, I know you made my best friend happy. Thats one cool dude in my book. So I leave you with something special from me.

THIS OLD HOUSE

I once had this old house I once called home....

As I pass through this old house I hear every creek I once forgot as a kid....

Remembering as a kid that hideout were I first made out....

Those crayon marks found upon the wall to measuring our height and marking it on the wall by the door frame, seems like yesterday my kids were growing so tall....

The familiar voices reading stories to us as we prepared to sleep coming from the room down the hall only seems like yesterday I heard them all....

As I walk through this empty house I call home....

As I move along I come to the master room, were I see familiar faces sitting and smiling....

My eyes gaze upon the wall I see an evolution of family from the first teething to the graduation to attending weddings of each and all, as I stop to reflect upon each and everything I came to one conclusion....

I know that its time for me to go, I hear that old familiar voice of my father calling me home, I will always remember those memories as I walked through that old empty house I called home....

As I will always have those memories with me in my heart, even though it may not beat the same way of familiar years of day’s gone bye, it still beats after I leave this old familiar house I called home....

All though we walk through life in this body we call our house, going through life remembering one last time, I am finally called to rest as I walk throughout that old empty home, one more time as my father calls me home to rest....

God Bless You Scott.

Woke up thinking of you. . .and how drastically our lives have been changed for you, me , Dougy. . .and others, of course. I pray every day for the strength to move on, for the strength to get thru the next moment, then the one after that. . .I rarely suceed, but I try to get right back up and try again. Everyone says with time, it will get better. I pray that they are right. I pray for Dougy everyday and every night and pray that you will help him hang on and find the strength he needs to move thru this as well. He has been so strong. . .I don't think he has let go yet. I worry for him. I keep telling him I will help any way I can, and he says he will remember that. I feel so helpless. I am having trouble believeing that you are really gone. . .that this has really happened, that I will not be seeing you again in this lifetime. Yesterday/last night was so hard for me...with it being friday. . .I kept waiting for you to call or come and get me. . .on some level, even though I knew you wouldnt be coming. I took my medication and put me and andy to bed so very early. . . I just needed the night to be over. . . to have the waiting stopped, atleast for a little while. Andy had fallen apart now. The dam has broken, and he is hurting. He misses you as I do. This am, I just decided instead of sitting here, we would be going to Denio's to walk for a few hours. . .He seems happy to get out and do this. Time to be a mom now. Just know that we love you and that we will always carry you in our hearts, as andy just said, forever and ever til when we die. . . because then we will be together again.

Scott, I am sadden by your loss. Though I am basiically a new member and may not have even said more than "Hi", I was impressed by your sense of humor and the way you served the chapter.

Hey blue eyes,

I couldnt sleep last night....You were so very much on my mind. I miss you more and more every moment of the day and night. I miss you so very much. It's so hard to be away from you, from the sound of your voice to the feel of your touch. I know that you hate it as much as I do. I guess this was one thing tho, that neither of us could control and I have to believe that God needed you for something very important. I can hear you saying, Wellllll, there ya have it! At which point, I'd either say, OHHHHH shuuuuuuuut up! (smiles) or call you a brat. . .which would only egg you on more, as all of your friends would know! Anyhow, I was thinking specifically of being at Benbow a while ago, how glad you were that we went and what a good time we had. When we went back to our room for the night, I layed on the bed and read poetry to you from some books that had been in the room. We read thru a lot of them, (in between reading a few paragraphs about how finite or infinite the universe really was from that book I brought with us!) that night. We stopped when we came to this one, remember? It spoke volumes to us that night. So anyhow, I was thinking about Benbow, and I remembered. I just wanted to share it with you once more. This will always be ours. The long version that I am putting here, as well as the short version. You will always have my heart, my soul and my love. . .and I promise to keep yours safe deep within mine forever.

My true Love hath my heart, and I have his,

By just exhange one for the other given:

I hold his dear, and mine he cannot miss;

There never was a better bargain driven.

His heart in me keeps me and him in one,

My heart in him his thoughts and senses guides:

He loves my heart, for once it was his own;

I cherish his because in me it bides.

His heart his wound received from my sight,

My heart was wounded with his wounded heart;

For as from me, on him his hurt did light,

So still methought in me his hurt did smart.

Both, equal hurt, in this change sought our bliss:

My true Love hath my heart, and I have his.

.....My True Love Hath My Heart

by Sir Philip Sidney (1554-86)

You really liked this poem, as did I. =)

By the way, Mr. Mason,

You would be and I am sure you are very proud of your friends. . .They are such wonderful, loving people, but you already know this. They were your family and they all loved you so very much. They miss you terribly. Even in their pain, they have taken the time to reach out to me. . .to let me know I'm not alone. I've decided i'm still going to the christmas party, and you will be at my side, if only in thought and spirit. . . and I will continue to hang out and ride with our friends (as long as they will have me). On a personal note, I promise I will get those things done that you wanted me to accomplish. I'll make you proud of me.

I love you, Mr. Mason. You will always have my love and your love, will help give me strength, as my life moves on.

I feel better now, having been able to say some things to you and share some things with everyone. Ive stopped crying now, which is a good thing. Time to get andy and me ready for school. I hope that you smile today. . . I'll be thinking of ya, as always. . .

Scott,

Although you were a quiet man you had a handshake and a way of saying hello that showed you as a sincere and passionate man. Although we only knew you for a couple years you were one that exemplified the reasons we came together to enjoy our desire of riding. We cannot explain the immediate hole in our hearts the moment we read what happened. But as one said to us, the lord needs good souls at his side. It still is very hard to accept the loss of a soul as sincere as yours. Well, all the rides are glorious now, yes?

Jeanne Pletcher

November 8, 2005

Scott ... You've been in my thoughts almost continuously for the last week. I wanted to write here words that would show my deep thanks for your friendship with Bill, me, and especially with our Son, Dylan.

Today, as I was packing to move to our new office, I came across the October 2002 Road Hog Newsletter, and rather than try to think of my own words, I thought I would share with everyone, your words from that newsletter. You wrote:

"... Why would I want to run for the Board you ask? Simple, I care about the people of this Chapter and I choose to manifest those feelings in servitude. Am I qualified you wonder? I believe I am. I was unsuccessful in my bid for the Board last year because few people really knew who I was at that time; I was just a guy who showed up at most of the runs but didn't say much. This year I decided people would know who I am by election time by getting involved any way I could in Chapter activities, attending Board Meetings and (at the risk of alienating friends and family) making a blatant attempt to win the Boss Hog Award. Up until now I have served on the Activities Committee the entire year, I had attended all but one Board Meeting before being offered the Road Warrior Officer position, and with a few well placed cuts to Dylan Pletcher's brake cables I'll have a lock on the Boss Hog title.

"I must say my quest for the most points has strained all my non-HOG relationships, but everyone at least appreciates my passion and commitment. I did not anticipate, however, that I would make new friends and family within the Chapter during the process. This has further deepened my desire to serve all of you. Let me put it this way: I battle shyness almost every minute of the day, and I only pull my head out of the sand for people and things I feel a strong attachment to. I am willing to put myself in a personal risk because I want this Chapter to flourish and my passion for riding my FLHT is beyond words. I also like long walks on the beach, the smell of blow-by in the garage and ....

"... If elected, I promise to conduct myself in the same manner that I try to live my life-with honor, honesty and humor."

Scott--I am so glad that you came into our lives, and that you shared with us your wonderful personality and quick wit! You will always be in our memories ...

---Jeanne and "RedDog"

I will always share our wonderful memories together, especially the go kart racing with you and mom, me always trying to pass you. Thank you for going trick or treating with me, we had fun monday night. I liked the meat you cooked for dinner monday too. It was good. I hope that your spirit will talk to me too.

Scott, When I first met you I didn't know how to take your dry sense of humor. After a short time I knew it well. I will miss all the questions you had each day to better yourself at your new job. Thanks again for the flower gram! It was always a pleasure to help you out. We will miss you but NEVER forget you! Oh..We saved you a plate of your favorite food...hope you saw it! Rest in peace my friend and continue riding with the Lord.

Steve Sperry

November 5, 2005

I am sure that all would agree that it is difficult to find words that accurately reflect the empty, lost feeling we feel right now. It is time to celebrate your life and to remember for all time how much you meant to each of us. I will miss the quiet and generous man that we rode with and shared time with as that is our most precious commodity. I will also miss the amazing delivery of your wit and humor; "Did he really say that?! Damn, that was funny!" Whenever I tip a glass of the finest Single Malt (cuz no one else will drink it with me) I will always think of you...Ride forever free my friend.

I had worked with Scott a little over 4 yrs. In the short time that he was a Supervisor in SCO's call center he had already acheived the respect of his staff.

Scott, a co-worker and friend. Our loss is heavens gain. You will surely be missed but never forgotten. God probably had a call center that was out of hand and needed you to lead them in the right direction. He knows he can count on you as we did. My heart goes out to your family at this time. It was a pleasure to know you and will see you in the next life. Angels wings be with you.
