To Scott's family: Scott was a headquarters supervisor that worked for me for approximately 2 years. He was brilliant and always proposing new ways to fight terrorism. He was a hard working agent and proved his leadership skills jettisoning him to his ultimate dream as SAC. I am grateful he was in my life and exuded bravery, fidelity and integrity. You all should be very proud, and
he loved his girls so very much.

Sincerely,
S. Annette Bartlett

I am so sad to hear of Scott's passing. He was a great person to work for and work with, when I served under him in Dallas. He encouraged me, when I went through some challenges at work, and made it possible for me to have a great career right up to retirement. He always took a special interest in our squad and the unique work situation we dealt with, in the Special Operations Group. I was sorry to see him leave Dallas, but I know he served with honor and distinction as he moved ahead in his career. I remember the family pictures he so proudly displayed in his office. My prayers are with all of Scott's family and loved ones in this difficult time. James Bryant, Special Agent, FBI , retired.

My deepest sympathy to family and friends. To us (class of 84), he was just Scott, one of the gang from a little town in Ohio. What an amazing life he lived. So proud to call him friend.

Take care and watch out for us!!

To the Smith Family, my deepest condolences to you. I'm from the class of 1984 and went to school with Scott and the description of Sammy Sunshine is spot on! He always had a smile on his face!
