Well brother I must say I still think of you often even today.  I really enjoyed our friendship and miss you terribly.  I also must tell everyone that Scotts death had a positive effect on me as a young man caught up in the same drug addiction.  I knew I had to get out of the trap I was in and this was the begining of a turning point for me.  God knew how to use this to get my attention and start to head down the long road of becoming drug free.

Scott -- I too think of you so very often.  We were childhood friends -- were in every class together thru 5th grade at Ridgeview Elementary, and then we both moved to the Eisenhower area and started at a new school together!  You were the only face I knew at that school, and even though we didn't have any classes together, I looked for the familiarity of your face there everyday.  Then we again started at a new school at Churchill, where we continued our friendship.  I was so saddened when you died, but you left a mark in my heart and life forever, dear friend!

He was one terrific fellow.  I thank Scott for allowing me to be his friend in high school.  I wish to add my regrets and sorrow at his passing.

Scott and I were in a rock band together in high school.  I cherished his friendship because he was one of the so-called "cool crowd" that accepted and embraced me despite my nerdiness.  I remember on more than one occasion Scott interceded on my behalf to keep me from getting beaten up by a couple of pretty tough characters.  I realized at that point that underneath his sometimes brash exterior, he was a very unselfish nice guy that didn't really care that I was a bit of a Band Nerd.  His family welcomed me into their home with open arms always.  I heard of his passing from his sister when I ran into her at North Star Mall when I had come home from school to visit my parents.  I remember how deeply saddened I was to hear of his leaving us.  I am still sad about it.  He could really sing, too.  Rest easy, Scott.

Scott was my first love.  A funny, exciting guy and so sincere.  His knowledge of music was unbelieveable.  He worked part-time at Satels and all the older salesmen got such a kick out of him.  Even my mother liked him and she didn't approve of too many.  His mom and dad were so sweet...I can't imaine how they survived his passing.  

I met Scott in the fall of my Senior year...we dated until we graduated...I knew something was happening but had no idea he was getting into heavy drugs...I knew I had to get away...he had changed.  It was an awful breakup...the most depressing thing in the world for me (and him).  About a year and a half later he died...then it made sense...that the drugs had changed him.  I was living in Houston but was able to make the funeral...it was huge.  Gordon Works and I cried and cried.  To this day I think it was the biggest waste of talent...who knows what he could have become.  Rest in peace, Scott.

Scott was a good dude.  We had kind of a terse relationship at times in High School, but such were the times.  After graduation I went to SAC as did Scott.  I walked into my History class and there he was second seat front with the first seat vacant.  He motioned for me to sit there in front of him.  I did.  We chatted daily about this that and he otherr that semester.  The second semester, he didn't show up and later I found out why.  Truly a loss for all of us.  He is missed.
