My memories of Scott are all very special. Scott grew up with my boys, he was one of them. I always thaught of him as one of my own when he was there. My children thaught of him as a brother. During Scott's high school years he worked for my husband at Cherry Valley Welding. When Ralph was not home I would have Scott come into the house to help re-arrange the furniture, and told him he was on the clock - so it was ok. Even at such a young age he had a big heart and would always help where and when needed. Scott was alway there with a smile and a hug when I was having a bad day. I will miss you forever. May God hold you tight untill we all see you again. I love you.

scott was a good friend. always there if you needed him. quick with a smile, quicker with a good joke. one of the best welders i have known. i will always remember scott for his heart of gold. when one of my children was very sick and had to go to boston for surgery, it was scott who came to the house with small gifts for both my kids, and reassuring words for me and my wife. for scott it just the right thing to do, and that was just the kind of person he was. doing the right thing was just natural for him. i can say with pride that scott was my friend, and i will miss him.
