To the Scollard family, My deepest sympathies for the losing of John. I went to grade school with John & didn't see him much afterwards. The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of John is the word, HONORABLE. John was a funny guy, but Always had that Gentleman within him. Prayers for the family & friends.

Too all members of the Scollard Family. I am sincerely sorry for your loss. John was an awesome guy. I enjoyed talking with him all the time at old 02711. I learned of his love for the Blackhawks and for the game of golf. He always made me smile and laugh and I needed that a lot of days. He will be truly missed. He like my dad(59) went way too young. We know know that they are in a better place now for them, but it's hard on those they leave behind. Again my thoughts and prayers are with you all. God bless
