It is so sad reading this. I haven't seen Scott for several years.

My deepest sympathies to his family.

Prayers for the family.

60 is way too young! May he rest in peace. Prayers to the family.

If anyone has any photos of Scott from any Archery events, his daughter Clarissa would very much like, if possible, to have a digital file/copy of the photo/s. PM me, and I can give you my direct email to send them to. If you have "old school" photos, (yes, before the digital era), also let me know. I think I have access to making them digital. Thank you...

I shot my bag course this evening using the arrows Scott made for me. I was halfway through before I even realized it. It made me smile as I remembered my old friend.

Scott was certainly one of the good ones. :)

Deeply saddened to read this. Scott made a point of welcoming me and the boys when we first showed up at SSTA. He checked in with me a couple years back to see how things were going and how I liked Texas.

Thanks for blessing those who knew you Scott.
