Scott you were one of my greatest people, always there to listen when I needed a shoulder and always ready to remind me how strong I was. You are always in my heart and ill miss being able to reach out to you. Ly
Prayers and condolences to you cousin Mooney and Judy, and ALL the family, so sad to hear the news of your son Scott’s
passing ! I pray God leads and guides you in the coming days ! Can’t help but think of some of the verses from Psalm 23 ~
vs.4 Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil : for thou art with me…( and w/Scott )
vs.6 Surely GOODNESS and MERCY shall follow me ALL the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord FOREVER ! Amen !!!
I knew Scott for many years and prepared his tax returns. Scott was a great friend and a down to earth gentleman. He will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace.
I worked with Scott at the casino for 27 years. He helped me out when I was down on my luck. I’ll never forget what he did for me. Scott was a special friend with a heart of gold. Thank you Scott for your all of your wonderful years of friendship. You will be sorely missed. May you rest peacefully in God’s glorious kingdom.
Sorry to hear of your passing, I will never forget how you helped me on roulette my first night, when we were packed. You said you would have my back and to not worry. I always remembered that and appreciated your kindness. Condolences to all family and friends.
Scott was a good person with a great smile and a warm spirit! I’m sorry for the family and friends whose hearts are aching.
