I still think about you often, Scott, and how in Tia Juana, Venezuela, you encouraged me to use both hands so I'd be ambidextrous. Also always think of you when I hear Bob Dylan's Lay Lady Lay album, which you brought down to Tia Juana that summer we built a "tree house" in El Monte.
With love always, Bitsey (Barbie)

Wow, how to even communicate??? Think of my buddy, long and often. Certainly miss his personality, spirit, support, laughs, and un-ending love, "can-do" attitude, expertise, and perfect sense of humor. He and Poppy are a real pair and are truly missed and loved.
Recently did a job in Kingsville on the King Ranch and thought of them both. The Client was a close ringer for Scott; even Paul remarked on the similarity as we had a great seafood buffet dinner at the King's Inn.
Lots of love and support to Donna, Hunt, and Collin. Thanks for sharing a great man and our true blue Texas friend. Be there always, Love, Jan

Nearly 20 years ago I walked into a cluttered office at West Oaks Hospital in Houston and found Scott Grundy. The ensuing years brought a friendship filled with laughs, stories and a cameraderie I have found in few persons. I don't expect to find any more like him. Donna , Hunt and Collin, I am honored to have called Scott my friend. All my best to you.
To Scott,Heaven laughs my friend.

I've had many acquaintences, but not many friends. For a time I was able to call Scott my friend. His unique personality and approachable kindness is something that I will always envy. I have missed my friend these past few years and wish our paths had not split.
My favorite memory of Scott was at a golf tournament where he hauled back and hit the worst drive possible, veering almost due right at a 90 degree angle and hitting our host in the ankle. After rushing to assit the man, Scott looked at me a shrugged his shoulders and said, "damn, this is awkward." Our host survived to golf another day, but always stayed behind Scott on the tee box. It was through Scott's awkwardness that most people have come to love him. He was a gentle personality with love enough for everyone, and I can only wish his family the best and thank them for sharing him with us. I chuckled when I saw that Donna and the boys would give him a viking send off. I cannot count the number of times he told me that when it was his time he wanted to go like the vikings. Adios my friend and smooth sailing.

I am so very glad Scott came to the last Creole Reunion in Corpus. We got to relive a number of unique childhood-in-the-jungle memories of life in Caripito. I ran into Scott several months later at a Chevron station in Ellinger. He told me he loved their greasy hamburgers. My last memory of Scott is his driving away in his well-worn vehicle with his slurping dog by his side, grinning in his self-effacing way. May the angels sing him into paradise!!! My prayers go out to Donna, the boys, and Bob!

Scott will always be part of us; and our thoughts and prayers will be with Donna, Hunt, Collin and Bob. We treasure the shared memories and the friendship of the Grundy family. All of his friends were blessed to have his presence in their lives. The Englishs ~ Bill, Frances, Bill II, and Don.

Scott was my “big brother” and mentor for many years growing up in Tia Juana Campo Verde, Venezuela. When I was very young, he – being one of the Big Kids – always took the time to acknowledge and talk to me as though I were one of the gang.
As the perceived gap in age difference shortened, we became peers and he continued to inspire and delight me. To this day, I live by and endeavor to meet many of the suggestions Scott thought would be positive traits to aspire to in life.
I am saddened that we were not able to spend more time together these last couple of decades. His kindness and thoughtfulness will never be forgotten.

Dearest Grundy family - I'd like to tell you that for me Scott was one of the most kind, sincere, gentleman that I've had the pleasure of knowing. He will be sorely missed I know. My connection is through Karen & Ralph Harp & I met Scott many years ago. May our Father in Heaven carry you closely through this rough time. May He bless you all with many happy memories to sustain you. Most sincerely --
