He had a serving heart who put others before himself. One of his lifelong passions were for airplanes and Union Pacific trains. Scott and Kay had property on Yellow River that they enjoyed hosting family and friends at for recreation. Hunting, fishing, trap shooting kept his interests.

Haven’t seen Scott since high school ,but have some great memories of times spent with him. Hopefully he is soon reunited with family that has passed before him. One of my wishes is that Scott, Greg and Bob find fields plentiful with game and an endless supply of shells! Rest in peace. Buzz

Kay and Family ..
I have only known Scott for a short couple of years but during that time, I had come to very much enjoy our time together at Fulton County Gun Club and had developed a tremendous amount of respect for him as a person, a shooter and most of all a friend.
He was one of the good guys .. be assured that they have reserved a special place in heaven for Scott.
All of my heartfelt condolences and sympathy for your loss .. my prayers are with you ..
Always ..

Kay, I am so sorry to hear about your husband’s passing. My prayers go out to you and your family. I do know what you will be going through as I, too, lost my husband just this last June while he was on a fishing trip with one of our grandsons. If there’s anytime you wish to speak to someone, please don’t hesitate to call me. I am still working as a substitute at Argos and it was through one of the teachers that I learned about your husband passing. I have joined a grief/share group, started at Life Plex but now joined the one in Argos, and they both meet on Tues. evening if you ever feel that you need to join a support group. May God be with you at this time and please keep trusting Him and praying to him as that is how we will be able to make it through. You can also find a place and a time to talk to God as He is always there. I can personally tell you that if it weren’t for God, I probably would have really been in a sad situation. Family members are also able to help you while they are around as they are sounding boards but when they leave you feel all alone and this is when you will need God. May God be with you. Jane Horvath
