Scott’s passing comes as a complete shock and is hard to fathom. We had some great times together at DSU on 4th floor of Delong Hall. He was a great guy and always knew how to have a good time. May God bless your family at such a tragic and difficult time and give you the strength to carry on and know that Scott is in good hands!
Andy Zachmann says
Scott was a childhood friend of mine. I hadn’t seen him for around 25 years or more. We got to be friends when he would spend summers with his Grandmother Donna in Golva. we got in our share of trouble on his summer visits. So sorry to here of his passing. I have always considered him as a friend even though I haven’t saw him since then. He was just genuine as a young kid & am sure he was as a man & husband. He will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace & God be with his family in there time of sorrow
Jeremy Stenerson says
When I heard of Scott’s passing, I was shocked. ..I still am. From what I knew of him in college, he always seemed to enjoy watching the antics of others and always seemed to be wearing his famous smile. He never tried to be someone else, and just enjoyed being Scott. I know he enjoyed sports and the STEELERS NATION truly lost one of the best. Although it has been a while since he and I have visited, my love for you and him has never waned. I want you to know that you are always in my thoughts. Take care.
Love, Me and the WHOLE STEELERS NATION.
