GUESTBOOK
I'm so sorry to hear of Scott's passing. I only got know Scott from a few family gatherings many years ago, but I could immediately feel the warm heart he no doubt inherited from Gwendolyn and Phil J, my aunt and uncle. Phil J and I spent countless hours together hunting pheasant and quail back in the day. Again, I'm so sorry to hear of Scott's passing...RIP, -Keven Crawford
