I have only fond memories of Papa Scott, and I am so glad that I had the privilege of having him in my life while living in Tacoma. Both you, Grandma Sis, and Papa Scott have been wonderful role models. You and your family are in my prayers. Love you, Karen (Gabriel) Hockett

Aloha Papa Scott,

I'll remember you always as one of the most kindest and fairest gentleman. I'm happy to have the pleasure of your memory in my life. When I think back, it's all good things, good times, and comfort.

Aloha Grandma Sis,

I have great sadness for the loss to you and your family. I feel the pain. I wish I could get one of those great hugs from you right now...

Love you always,

Laura

God's Blessings to Sis and the rest of Scott's wonderful family. I think back on the wonderful stories of my Dad, Shorty Campbell, and those great basketball playing days when they were well into their fifties! They had such a special bond -- a great love of people and the quiet expertise to use their abilities so well. I will think of Scott as I watch my grandson play in a basketball tournament in a great facility at UPS tomorrow. JOY CAMPBELL DENSMORE

I send my deepest sympathy to all the family. I was glad I got to see Scott about a week ago and we had a great conversation. I enjoyed working at Scott's Athletic for 18 years. I have wonderful memories and personal growth with the experience at the Athletic Store. Chris Cross
