    Scott was awesome. I have known him my whole life as a classmate as a classmate with his daughter Sarah. He nicknamed me “hollywood” when we were very young kids and still called me this to this day. I ALWAYS loved chatting with him about everything and the last conversation I had with him lasted nearly an hour in the Supervalu parking lot. He adored his girls and was always talking about them. A very proud father and wonderful guy. Rest easy and pain free Scott – you will be missed!
