Scott was a devoted husband who doted on his wife, Laurie, even though she didn't care for being doted on. Dad, taught all four of us children how to love God first, then family and friends; and you don't stop there. You try to make a difference, big or small, in every person's life you meet. He loved to work with his hands and many of you are recipients of his many talents, from the garden of vegetables and flowers he kept, to the picture frames he was making in the past few years, to helping our neighborhood or church construction projects. He was always ready able and willing to give of his Time, Talents and Treasures. As we all go back to our daily lives without this amazing man, please remember to do as our husband, dad, grandpa/papa would have done: love God with all you heart, soul, mind and might. Help your friends and neighbors. Give a flower to them all, as Scott would say and do, ""Give Me The Flower While I'm Living"" and here's his gift to you.
