I have many memories of Scott and our escapades as a co-worker and friend. Many times having a few beers at my house or meeting at the shooting range. We both were into cars, computers, and firearms which gave us a lot to talk about. He liked precision metal so he always talked about how his Type R car had a special hand assembled engine. His love for firearms was because they are very precision tools. His big boyish exuberant grin will always be missed !
