I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending many hugs and prayers for strength during this difficult time. I’m so happy that you guys had the opportunity to grow your lives together over the many years . It was a privilege to know Scott . we can all cherish the memories, remember the smiles, and those looks that he sometimes gave When he wasn’t trying to laugh. My heart aches for all of you. I know he’s looking over all of you, and he’s up there with ma, pops, and Everyone else telling them about the adventures that he had when he was here.
Scott will be remembered by many, even by those who never knew him….
He will be remembered by the two Amish farmers who turned their wagon over to fix a broken wheel on their wagon down in a ditch off the road, and Scott stopped his truck on the highway and went ran down the ditch to help them because he thought they had had an accident.
Then there was the farmer lying underneath a tractor in a field, where Scott spotted him laying there, stopped his truck and went running over to give assistance to a man he thought had had an accident, only to find out he was lying there because it was the only shade he could find in the field he was working in.
Or the lady at Handy Andys, trying to get a gigantic piece of plywood inside her vehicle- over her children’s heads, when Scott saw her and talked to her into letting him put the wood in his truck and follow them home where they could make a birthday sign for their daddy and husband.
THEN there was the golden retriever who fell through with the ice at a Country Club in the Waukesha? area and Scott dove into the ice to help get him out – work clothes and all – and someone else took credit for saving the dog.
That was my brother- in- law Scott. It is a very good thing that he had a huge heart because he kept giving pieces of it to people he thought needed it, even though he never knew them, and they never knew him.
My sister’s heart is breaking and this will be a very difficult road for her to travel, because there will be no Scott to stop and save her.
But with Gods’ help and a lot of prayes, their families will do it. For Scott , so that he may rest in peace with no worries here on Earth, any longer.
We are watching her for you Scott.
