Dear Anita,
Bruce and I will keep you and your family in our prayers as well as our fond memories of Scott.  He was always a gentleman and the guys with the airplane in his garage.
 We’ll never meet another person quite like him.
Take care, we love you.

Dear Anita, while I never had the chance to talk with your husband at Bocci, I have read all about his life; and understand the tremendous scope of his life. I pray for a sober and deep peace for your family as you move forward without him…..

Dear Anita, We are so sad for you. We know that Scott will be truly missed by you and your family. You and he built a wonderful life together (it was good he was blessed to be such an engineering craftsman and shared his knowledge and gifts with many!).

Anita,
I’m very saddened to hear of Scotts passing. Scott and I worked together at Lancaster Pump for twenty years. In 1985 I was fresh out of college as a design engineer when I began working with Scott. With Scott’s immense practical knowledge he helped me design very sucessful products, many still in production today. After he retired he would occasionally stop in the office and I would enjoy showing him what new projects we were working on. I was extremely fortunate to work with Scott and I’m so very sorry for your loss.
