Dear Debbie, I an truly sorry for your loss. I worked for scott in the early days in Enfield and then Shoham road. he was the best when it came to getting those Cummins engines to run. I learned a lot from him, and I enjoyed a 42 year career myself as a result. If there is an engine shop in heaven, he is already running it.!! I have photo albums filled with pictures of the good ol days with him and all the guys. 15 years I'LL never forget. Rest in peace scott.

My condolences to Scotty's family. Being the Equipment Manager for Galasso Materials, I become good friends with Scotty. I have to tell you the story that I will always remember. One morning on his way to work he called and out of the blue asked me how many people work at Galasso, it seemed like a couple of minutes before I came back with a smart answer and told him about half of them do, well he laughed and came right back with,"and that's only if they all show up as scheduled". Scotty had a strong work ethic and cared about his customers, the two keys to his success. He will be missed by all and never forgotten. RIP Scotty

Scott and I had great times together when we were younger. As in life, we went our own ways, but I was able to keep in touch as he worked with my father at Cummins Diesel and excelled at what he does. Of all the people I know, Scott was the last person who would pass early in life. He was so full of energy, health and vigor. I'm just stunned and sad for all of his family and all who knew him, and I will miss him. Scott was a great man!
