I went all through school with Scott and he was always awesome - one of the sweetest and funniest guys ever. I know this is terribly late, but I also know you never really get over this kind of loss. My heart goes out to your family and I hope this brings a bit of happiness to hear that Scott was loved and he touched many people. Debbie (Connell) Gardner

Our deepest sympathy to you Haley and your family. We have known your dad since high school and then ended up living on the same street for several years with many fun times. He will be missed and we are sadden about this news.

24 years ago, when we ran in to each other again, I told you that when you passed, I'd dance on your grave. You Laughed and said that I would not do that. Oddly, it nearly happened. At your service, I had our daughter, Haley, seated on my left and our granddaughter, Heather, seated on my lap. When the music to one of your favorite songs began, little H turned to look up at me and said, "want to dance, grandma"

I'm hoping that you knew how much you were loved and now sorely missed.

No one told me there'd be days like this.

Peace be with you, Scott.

About 24 years ago, I told you that when you died, I'd dance on your grave. I remember how you laughed and said that I would not. Well...it nearly happened, but for a different reason. At your funeral, I had your daughter on my left and your granddaughter on my lap. When "Desperado" began, little Heather turned to me and said, "want to dance, grandma?" You were loved by many and you are sorely missed. No one told me there'd be days like this.
