Linda, please accept and extend to your family my deepest sympathies at your loss. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. I first knew Scott on the interview circuit for aspiring CPS principals; later became his colleague in the same Southwest Side school district; and, had many a good time socializing as friends after the day's work was done. He will be truly missed by many.

Feaman family: I'm so very sorry for your loss. Scott was one of my frat brothers at NIU. An all around terrific guy. A real gentleman with a great sense of humor and very modest about his football accomplishments. Golfed with him just a few short months ago. Prayers for Scott and his family.
