Kim and Ricky, I had the pleasure of working with Scott at Corporate Express. He trained me to be an estimator along with him. For the short period I was there I got to know him and he always made me laugh. I was fortunate enough to have him as my contact throughout my "unemployment" period. He helped me in ways no one else could. I'm so sorry for your loss and my heart is with you guys. I'll miss him dearly.

When Scott was in the hospital some months ago, our office passed a get well card around for each of us to sign. I always draw a girl doll face and music notes next to the face with the mouth open as if she is singing (for all ocassions,) I write the words of the song under the music notes. Upon Scott's release from the hospital, he visited the office and he made a special stop by my desk to express how much he enjoyed the doll face and the song she was singing to him. All the years I have done this, no-one has ever said "Thank You", I began to cry after he turned and left my desk. Although it is not a very large gift, it does come from my heart, and since I at one time had been a professional entertainer (drummer & vocalist) with my sisters and brother, there is a song for everything and everyone if we think about it. While here in the office, I could hear him laugh and make the others laugh that were near his desk. I never heard him complain and I saw the ambulance arrive one day, they were here to pick Scott up because he had gotten very ill, that saddened me and I began to pray for him right then. God Bless. Peace, Love and Prayers to all. Billie Clark Workforce Specialist Workforce Oklahoma-Tulsa

Ricky has been on my Upward basketball team at Christ Church, both as a player and an assistant coach. Scott was faithful to be at Ricky's basketball games, in addition to his other sporting events, even though it was apparent that he often didn't feel well. A couple of years ago, our Upward team, including Ricky, experienced a moment that remains one of my all-time favorite coaching memories, and Scott was able to capture it on video. A little girl on our team named Maddie didn't possess a lot of basketball skills and was often overmatched or overlooked on the court during games, but Ricky and the rest of the team helped her and made her feel part of the team at all times. But Maddie had not gotten an opportunity to score a basket all season, leading up to the final moments of our last game. Ricky and the rest of the team ran plays designed to get the ball to Maddie so she would have a chance to score. It wasn't until the final minute of the final game that Maddie caught a pass and was fouled in the act of shooting. Everyone in the gym was standing and cheering for Maddie as she shot and made a free throw for her first point of the season! It was only days later that Ricky handed me a DVD and told me that his dad had captured the moment, along with other highlights during the season, on video. It seems like a small gesture, but I will always appreciate Scott's efforts in taping and editing that DVD for me. Scott, I didn't know you for a long time, but your love and commitment to family, and your love for the Lord was obvious to me and to others. See you in heaven. God bless you, Kim and Ricky.

Scott interviewed for the Unemployment Insurance posititon indicating he needed a job which would allow him to help people. He added he did not care what he would be paid and would figure out a way to pay his bills if he could just be given a job with some "security" for he & his family. I had the privilege of Scott being one of my employees for 16 short months. During that time, we became friends. He always thanked me for the opportunity given to him when hired for this job. During the past year, he would come to work when he surely did not feel up to it. He wanted to be sure he always did his "share" of the workload. He called often to just show concern & friendship after my car wreck. He never failed to ask about my husband during his recent illness. He became one of my best friends and was always there. May Scott rest in peace & may his family always know how important they were to him. He will be missed.

I was privileged to work with Scott from the very beginning at OESC. He was a pleasure to be with and a delight to be around. He was always willing to go the extra mile to help people in need. He was so proud of his family and loved to talk of them. He was extremely proud of Ricky's athletic prowess and would be most happy to tell you about his latest endeavors. He will be greatly missed by us all. I am sorry I did not get to spend more time with Scott. We always had a great time together and he always was positive in his outlook. My prayers and best wishes are with you and your family in this time of great personal loss. Felix and Rudene Walton

I had the pleasure of working with Scott over the last year. Scott seemed to be at peace with what he knew was coming. He never complained once, and on several occasions talked about his situation. He told me that we all have to die sometime and that he had faith in Christ. His faith in the Lord gave Him peace. He is fully at peace now, resting in the Lord. If we give ourselves to Lord Jesus in this life, we will see Scott in the next age.

I had the pleasure of working with Scott, although for a short time. I filled in for him when he was ill, and they were big shoes to fill. So many many claimants that he helped have inquired about him. Those who knew he had health problems offered prayers and encouragement. Others just asked about him because they missed his compassionate and intelligent service. During his time of service at UI he was a valued coworker. More people than you know will miss him.

Although I was not Scott's boss for very long before he had to stop working I did work with him at the Service Center when he was going through his training to become a Field Agent. He always had a smile on his face and had encouraging words for you when you were having a bad day. He never let the way he was feeling interfere when he was helping our clients. They would be sitting at his desk complaining of all their problems and I could not help but think how they had no idea what the person (Scott) across the desk from them was going through. Scott will be greatly missed and I pray the family can find comfort in knowing he is no longer in pain.
