Scott - In Loving Memory

You always knew
What to expect 
With Scott
A smile 
And a baseball cap 
For starters

The cap sometimes
Had a Steelers logo,
And sometimes it was just
Plain tan.
It didn't have to be fancy.
Scott was comfortable in anything.

Speaking of the Steelers
Scott loved
EVERYTHING
About
His big, bright hometown 

He loved smiling, too!
It came to him
So easily 
And naturally 
That warm, constant,
Brotherly smile 
That made everyone 
In the room
Feel welcome 
And at ease.

At the funeral
Scott's brother described him as 
The nicest guy in the world.

I have to agree.
He was good to his kids
And a friend
To anyone
He got to know
For more than
Ten seconds

Every family 
Has a rock, 
Someone 
Whom you can count on 
To step up
And help 
Anytime
Anywhere

Scott used to show up
Unannounced 
To mow the grass
When my father 
Couldn't do it.
Scott was a busy 
Family man
With a demanding job.
He didn't have time
To come over 
And do chores
On a lark, 
But he did it anyway.

That's what kind of guy he was,
Unselfish to a fault
I could learn
Some important lessons 
On character 
From his example.

Most importantly 
Scott always took 
Unwavering 
Care
Of his wife 
And family.
He worked hard
To support them  
For many years.
That's what I admire
About him
Most
Even more
Than his wonderful,
High wattage 
Smile

We'll miss you, Scott.
We already do.
It's not fair
That you
Were taken from us
So soon!
You were one of the
Good Guys
Truly
One of the 
Good Guys 
There aren't enough 
People
In this world
Like you 

In Loving Memory
