Scott was a one-of-a-kind person. He had the biggest heart and loved everyone. If you needed a story or a good laugh, you could always count on Scott to have one or make one up really quickly. Scott’s pride and joy was his family. He enjoyed having the grandkids around him, playing and making noise. Scott always loved spending time at the hunting cabin with his brothers and nephews during deer hunting season.
