Wow.....7 years ago today ole pal. In some ways it seems like it was last week and in others, it seems like you've been gone forever. Time hasn't made it any easier for many of us. Your gorgeous daughters are grown and your family would make anyone proud! Your recent 2nd grandchild is darling, as well. We still often reflect on times our families spent together. You are greatly missed, my friend. I hope the fish are biting, the monster bucks are rutting, and you are leaving some birdies left on the course for someone else. Talk to you soon. "Watcha gunna do?!" ........Thanks for the watch.

Dear Scotty,
Here we are again.... seven years ago today, we had NO idea what tomorrow, May 17th, was going to bring. It certainly all changed in that tragic moment.

We have learned many of life lessons since you've been gone. I think the most important of these has been to appreciate each and every day as a glorious gift and live it... I mean REALLY live it, don't just go through the motions.

We still cry for our loss, miss you incredibly, and laugh about the good times. Just know, you are continually in our thoughts, and even though we aren't together, we know you are here....

Love you,
Terri, Mike, Molly, and Anna

Every day we see your name on the wall, and in our minds eye we see your smile, your easy manner and remember your dedication to getting the job done. We remember your absolute joy at being with your family and your friends, you gave your life your all and you gave all your life. We will continue to try to keep the cup full (life and duty)and I know a few hoist one (the other kind) for you periodically, for you are never forgotten, Rest in Peace, But if you get bored keep an eye on us and whisper in our ear when things get hairy, like they've been this year.....And again THANKS!!!
And to your family, GOOD JOB and GOD BLESS you too are remembered.

Hi hon!
As I am sure you well know, you have a new beautiful granddaughter!! She arrived on Monday evening the 25th @ 7:50pm. She weighed 7lb 12oz and looks so much like Brooke!! She has dark hair, lots of it, and dark eyes that I think will be brown, just like yours! I just know you would be such a proud Grandpa!! We sure miss and love you each and every day!
We are celebrating Bailie Jo's 19th birthday today! Wow! She sure is a spitting image of you!!
Missing you!! Love, Me

Dear Scott,
Another cold, snowy day here. You've been on my mind a lot lately, I've been missing your smile and just plain silliness! We could all use a good dose of your humor!

Love and hugs from all of us!

Hi hon,
Another holiday season is upon us. They say time heals all wounds, but I can tell them they are wrong! This is a hard time for all of us without you here. Thank you for the beautiful daughters that we have, I can't look at them without thinking of you.
Rest In Peace.

Hey Scottie,
Just a quick note to say we're thinking about you. Another beautiful, blue-sky day is upon us and I'm sure you would have been on the golf course! Big hugs to you!

Hey 'ole buddy,
Tomorrow is the annual poker run in your name. We ride in honor and remembrance of you and I know you’ll be watching over all of us and keeping everyone safe. I wish you were here to ride with us. I really miss those days when we rode to work together and all the other times when we’d ride together. Peace brother!!

Dad-

Your poker run is next weeekend and I absolutely cannot wait to ride in your name.
I have been thinking a lot about you lately, missing you like crazy. I sit and look at pictures and see how much Beau looks like you, and remember that he acts just like you too! Trust me, you would have absolutely loved him and I know he would have been your little buddy!

I constantly find myself asking the "what if" and "why" questions, but still to this day I haven't found the answer. God needed you for bigger and better things than your life on Earth was capable of providing for you. I love you more than words can say and I hope that you are proud of what I have made of my life.

I love you so much, you'll forever be in my heart!
Gone but never forgotten!!!

I love you Daddy.... ** until we meet again! **

Bailey,
I think of your dad often as well. Always remember that your dad is always looking down on you with more pride than you can ever imagine. He may not be here with us, but he has left us with his legacy and that is you and Brooke. Because of that…he lives on. I have no doubt that he watches over all of our lives that he touched before he so tragically left us. You are right in the fact that there are just no words to describe your dad to anyone who didn’t know him. I am proud to be able to have worked side by side with him and more so to be able to have called him my friend!!!!!
