Dear Scott and Family,

We met when we first moved to Homewood a few years back, and Rob attempted to coach our son Josh's soccer team that also happened to include Christopher. Scott, you were the unsung soccer coach extraordinaire, we valued your help and support. Even then it was obvious that your whole family was going through some tough times, yet that didn't stop you from giving. Char cheered the team as enthusiastically and loudly as anyone! We are blessed to know you all. Our hearts are heavy as well, for your loss.
