His work was not only a profession but also a craft he took great pride in, contributing to the industry with precision and care.
Scott’s passion for the outdoors was undeniable. He was an avid hunter, fisherman, and boater, finding solace and excitement in the natural world. His love for these activities was infectious, and he often shared his knowledge and enthusiasm with friends and family. Scott’s skill in training hunting dogs was renowned, and his companions were a testament to his patience and expertise.

He approached every day with a sense of possibility and encouraged others to do the same.
