The family would like to thank the caregivers at Grayson Place and Guardian Hospice for taking such good care of Scott the past few months. They also want to acknowledge his closest friends who visited him frequently Myrna Mosier, John Lamb, Dennis Lloyd, Susan Khammash and Michael and Brenda Galgan.
