I'm am dearly sorry to hear that you have lost your son so soon.

I went to high school with Scott and had a few classes with him and was lucky enough to go on Kairos with him. He was a great and kind person and his head was in the right place.

Dear Ken and Sharon - While searching for another obituary, I saw this familar name. As I read on, I could not believe it. It has been many years since I have seen you, and Scott was just a little boy the last time I remember seeing him. As a parent, I can only imagine the heartache you must be feeling at this time. I know that Scott is at peace with Jesus, and I pray with all my heart that God will give you strength and comfort you. My very deepest sympathy. With much love, Janice Slawinski (formerly Janice Stevens)

Mr and Mrs. Staszak,
Scott was an amazing man. you raised him well. Scott was soo sweet. We would always hang out with all the other guys. and just really hang out. i remember going to his baseball games when he played agasint kevin frank. we sat on scots side when he was batting and then switched sides when kevin was. it was soo funny becuase scott would always say that we didnt have to switch sides. but when we did he would always give us this goofy look. Scott was an amazing man. and he will be dearly missed.

Skipper- In 7th grade I met you on the Bus to Great America, and I knew that you'd be my friend for a long time. Before we had our liscences i remember you and the boys riding your bikes everywhere. When we did have our liscences... (well... some of us) we'd just drive around. I remember always talking to you and you'd brighten up my day. You were one of the sweetest guys I'd ever met. All the stupid adventures we'd take on wheeler. Sitting in your basement playing ping pong, me making the attempt to play your drums.. haha. You always made everyone smile. Growing up.....Going to Bremen movie theater and then over to the banks, just sitting around nothing with everyone. Even though it's been about a year since we've seen each other and talked a lot, I still cared for ya. I hope you're at peace. I love you and will miss you always skip.
Peace,
KB/cristie.

I remember back when none of us had our lisence scottie would always ride his bike over to my house and we'd just sit in my driveway sippin on juicebox's and talking. Or our whole group would hang out in Scottie's basement and just listen to music and play ping pong. Scottie always had my back through everything. I'm really going to miss him. I love you Skipper.
Love Always,
Katie (AKA lil' kelly)
