Dear Scott,
I just lit a candle in your memory, not that anyone could ever forget you. I did not see you in the later years but from what I have seen, you did not change from the sweet little boy I knew. You would be so proud of your girls. They are both so smart and beautiful. It doesn't seem possible but it's already been five years since you made your journey from this world to the next. Say hello to your grandma and grandpa for me. Your mother struggles every day because you were her life. Anything you can do to make her feel better would be great. We miss you, Scott. Our world is not as bright as it was when you were here.

Today marks the 5 year anniversary of your death. I never thought I would live to see this day, but we continue on this journey that we've been given. I think about you all the time. I know that you're safe in heaven with grandma and grandpa. I will see you all again one of these days. Until then, you are remembered and loved with all my heart. I love you, Mom

As I have survived another one of your birthdays without you, I reflect upon happier days when you were here. Your laughter filled the room and you were the spirit of our family. You were a wonderful son, grandson, and father. I am so proud of the man you became and your contributions to this world. We will be reunited one day for eternity.....oh happy day!!! I love you, Mom

I hate to see a friend going through the pain of losing a child and not being able to do anything about it.

I'm sorry that I'm late in posting Kathy. I was out of the country. My thoughts and prayers are always with you and your family.
Our pain in losing a child will never end. And, as for me, I'm not sure that I want it too.

I too have lost a son. For those who have never experienced this terrible tragedy may say that he’s in a better place and that after a mourning period should be let to rest. It may be true but that loss, pain, and memory will be in our hearts till the day we die. With the love of Christ.

One of the most difficult things to deal with in life is the death of a loved one. However, the losing of ones child is an indescribable pain. This pain will never go away, but rather it’s multiplied by our lack of understanding.
2 Samuel 12:23 But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.”

Homerun hitter

May 2, 2011

Scott loved to play softball. He was known for his powerful homerun hits. One time they were playing at the Legion in Jerseyville, Il., and he hit the ball so hard it broke a window in a house way outside the field! He would just stand there with the bat on his shoulder, like he wasn't going to even be ready to hit it. Then he would just smack it and it would go sailing. That's my boy!!

 

Scott's many imitations

April 10, 2011

Scott loved to imitate different characters. Just to name a few, Buddy the Elf, Pee Wee Herman, Motivational Speaker, and many other Saturday Night Live skits. He did them to perfection, every line down pat. MANY people were entertained by his antics. Scott was known for making people laugh. His generous spirit, his contagious laugh, his zest for life, are all things that make up this wonderful man.
