Dear Debbie and Dennis: Our thoughts and prayers are with you..
I am greatly saddened to hear of Scott’s passing. His office was right next to RECo’s Accounting department so many lunch hours were shared with us and stories told. He loved his rabbit, and while we mostly told stories of our dogs and kids he would come right back with a funny bunny tale. We were able to enjoy his smiles and good humor for many, many years. The world has lost a good man.
Debbie and Dennis – there are no words. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers, especially during the difficult days ahead.
I am so saddened by this news for Scott’s passing. I worked with him at Reinforced Earth. I loved hearing about his bunny stories!!! He always knew how to make you smile. He will be missed. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for your loss. May you find peace and comfort during this difficult time. Scott’s smile was contagious and will forever be remembered.
Debbie, Dennis and Family, So sorry for your loss. Will keep you in my prayers thru this sad time.
Debbie, Dennis and family, So very sorry for your loss. You are in our thought and prayers during this difficult time.
He was a very likable, young man . . . . he never discriminate anyone. Our LORD is keeping him for now . . . he is in a deep sleep, and he will be awaken by our Lord, Jesus Christ when he comes which is soon! So long Scott, until we will see you again in God’s glory!
P.S.
I was his dancing partner at R.E holiday party (my hubby doesn’t like to dance) and he volunteered to be my dancing partner . . . he enjoys dancing! You were an angel Scott . . . . a very good natured, young man, full of life and smiles.
Debbie and Dennis, We are so sorry to hear about Scott. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Debbie and Dennis,
I hired Scott at Reinforced Earth, I was the head of the IT Department. He worked with me for the majority of his time here. Scott was a great person and wonderful part of our team. I always enjoyed working with him, teaching him, mentoring him, etc. We had a lot of fun with a broomstick for anyone’s baseball team that got swept, they had to keep the broom in their office until someone else’s team got swept. He did love the Orioles and Ravens. Unfortunately, I can’t make it from the west coast, but please know he has been in my thoughts non stop, he was a great person, and I will miss him terribly. I don’t know what happened, but I do know we lost a great human being in Scott way too soon. RIP Scott
