I am one of Scott's 14 first cousins who mourn for him, his parents and sister. This event has cratered our family and many friends. He was greatly loved and we will miss him terribly. He has always been very special to all of us. Thank you for sharing our grief. Dianne Rench and family Thank you for posting your goodbye to Scott.

I can remember one occasion when my presentation crashed & he had a backup disk that saved me from failing my presentation. He was a genuine, kind, & giving person and will truly be missed. Please let me know when & if there will be a memorial in Seattle as I would love to attend. My thoughts are with you :) - Liz I had the privilege to have a number of classes with Scott while we both attended WSU.

I am one of the many cousins Scott had. I really never had the opportunity to spend time with him, but always heard the great stories from my great uncle (his grandfather) Jim. My thoughts and prayers still go out to the family.
