This is from Bob Kirkpatrick. I’m going to miss Scott more than I can really say. We were both truck drivers and we talked every day sometimes several times a day .I’m going to miss him greatly. He always gave me good advice He always made me laugh. I really cannot express how much his death has impacted me. Our hearts and thoughts go out to the entire family. We so greatly appreciate them keeping us in touch While Scott was in the Hospital. While I’m going to miss talking to him everyday Heaven has just received a true blessing and a truly good person. He’ll be missed by many and loved by all
