With Scott's untimely exit, we'll lose his positive attitude and loving interest in people, both in his personal life and in business. My thoughts and prayers are with Pat, Ben and Jacob, who have lost their hero.

Scott has been our neighbor and friend for over 16 years. We’ve watched and shared the chapters of our lives with him, and he will be deeply missed. Scott inspired me by dreaming on a larger scale than most people. You could call him a visionary, but unlike others, Scott was not content until he had seen that dream transformed into a reality. I know the world is a better place because of Scott’s vision, his hard work, and his commitments to his family, friends, and goals.



I hope the sadness of this moment will someday fade, but the memory of Scott as a father, husband, businessman, and friend will never fade.

Scott was my business associate who also became a caring friend. Despite his recent health problems, he was always concerned about your welfare and what he could personally do to assist you. His zest for life will be remembered and his friendship will be sorely missed.

Of the few who possess hearts truly forged of Gold, Scott most amazed me by how easily he shared that richness. His early exit leaves a gaping hole in my own heart, but his 22 year friendship leaves me feeling extraordinarily honored to have known such a man.
