I went to school at Big Horn with Scott. He was always happy, joking around. Always making me smile. He was one of those rare people who made your heart smile with any contact. I hadn’t seen him in years, but FB provided a way for us to keep in touch. I dearly love his Mother, Betty. My thoughts and prayers are with his entire family. The world is a dimmer place without him. God Bless you.
