Rest In Peace buddy.  Some of my best high school memories are the shenanigans we got into.  You inspired me to join the Air Force, and I ended up making it a career.  You’ve left us all too soon.  Rich Cox

The Red Rose K-9 Search & Rescue Team extends their sympathy to Scott’s family.  We met Scott when we purchased our van to transport our Bloodhounds for emergency search work.  Scott was a top-knotch professional and had a calm about him that brought an ease to the buying process.  He had a great respect for emergency service responders, law enforcement, and the military.  As we sat at his desk, we looked at his family pictures and learned a little bit about his life – he was very proud of his children.  Scott will be remembered by us for his genuine people skills.  We are very sorry for his loss.  – Allen & Patti Means and Bloodhounds “Heather”, “Reuben”, and “Chip”.
