Scott was one of my most favorite people in school…quiet, very funny and always so kind. I’ve often thought about him over the years and wondered how he was doing. I’m so saddened to hear of his passing. Prayers for peace to his family and loved ones.
Scott was one of the kindness people we have known. He was always took time to say hello, ask how Jeff and I were doing and to help me to maneuver through the activity on the floor at Smithway. Especially when I first started calling on the plant and I really needed a familiar face. We know how much he will be missed and are keeping everyone in our thoughts and prayers.

Janice, when I got the prayer chain call from church my first thoughts were of you. I never got the pleasure to meet Scott but if he was anything like Rod then all was good. Rod, please give your mother a BIG hug from me. Take very special care of her, I miss all of you at church. I’m not sure if I can make it to the farm Friday, but I’ll keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
