Mrs.Burnside, Coni, and the remainder of Scott's family, I have very fond memories of Scott's visits to my dental office. He was a unique and beloved character. I looked foward to his constant jokes and witticisms. He would always have a story to tell on his arrival and we would sit together and enjoy it before we began. He will be greatly missed and we feel a great loss and pain.

Sincerely,

Dr. Connie Kitts D.D.S.

Hilda, Coni, My most deeply felt sympathies for your lost. My memories of Scott have always been very fond and I enjoyed the many years that we were associated. I consider it a privilege to have known him and I assure you he will be missed. May God Bless You! and be comforted that Scott is with him now and I am sure much happier. God Bless you in the coming days and always.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Burnside, Keith and Jill:



I loved Scott. The relationship I shared with him over the past eleven years was one of the most unique and special friendships I will ever have in my life. He was a friend, a roommate, a big brother, and, at times, a father figure to me. I had a wonderful breakfast with Scott on the day I got married, made certain that he sat amongst my cousins, uncles and relatives during our wedding vows and was sitting right next to my parents at our reception. He was a part of our family. I can only hope that I returned a small fraction of the gifts that Scott gave to me. He is a part of who I am and, for that, I will always be grateful.

Jill & Keith: You already know how we feel. We feel like we too have lost a brother and best friend. We also agree with Jeri, who said it best, sitting around the table playing "farkle" and laugh until you cry. He will be with us always and forever. Love you two so much. "Sister Sue" and Richard.

Scott gave many years of excellent servive to the University of Richmond as a media technician. He was highly skilled in handling a variety of multimedia equipment and was very dedicated in his work with students in the Jepson School. I will also fondly remember the tennis games we played some years ago and our talks about University of Georgia football.
