Scott was one of a kind! He and I shared many paths however crossing them at different times of our lives. It was fun talking of the places we had been and even had eaten such as Tony Paco's in Toledo just different times.... Keesler AFB Biloxi, MS at different times....
The #1 thing we had in common, we were both Cancer Survivors and Advocates for children with cancer!
I adored his friendship as short as it was, the impact was mighty! I pray for peace that passeth all understanding and God's comfort for all of you! Scott, Buddy.... you will never be forgotten! You are one heck of a fighter! Love you my friend!
