Dear Dana and Brandon,
Sorry to hear about your father. He was a great guy that would do anything for anybody. I will always remember Scott as a caring guy that was a little crazy. LOL. He will be missed. I always thought I'd get to hang out with him again. Keep going strong.

I didn't know Scott personally but had the privilege of competing against him in a Nascar Fantasy Racing league. He won several races last season and from his email he was excited to get this season going. I'm very sorry for your loss. Please accept my sincere condolence to the entire family. We will be holding his spot in the racing league all season.

much love, Judy

My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time of sorrow. We have all lost a wonderful person and a great friend. From 30 years ago when Scott was in Mike and my wedding to just 2 weeks ago. We still keep in touch, at least twice a month he would call me or e-mail me. And if I didn't hear from him, I would call him. Just to see how the family was doing, keep me informed about his kids or just to see what was going on. I'm going to miss my friend very much. He was my casino buddy, nascar buddy and someone I knew was always there when I needed a friend. My heart goes out to you Clif and Sis I can't even imagine ever losing a child. And Brandon and Dana I'm so sorry, He loved you both very much. If there's anything I can do please call
