We will be out of town this weekend and unable to attend the memorial, but my heart is and will be with you all. I had no idea “Dad Scott” was so decorated, but I do know that he was a very dedicated dad that was full of spirit and well loved by everyone.
He will be greatly missed by so many. I know he made everyone who knew him smile and laugh — and he left a lasting impression on everyone. Greenwood is a much better place because of him. Love you guys!
