I have great memories of Scott, both from St. Joe's and going back to St. Mark's. Freshman year, he would walk home from school with Theresa (Connelly) Martin and I - always stopping at Theresa's for "Connelly's Cookies" that Mrs. Connelly most likely made just for Scott because he really appreciated them!
I have so many memories of Scott that they are too numerous to list. But one of my favorites was attending a Mardi Gras dance senior year: Theresa and I dressed in men's suits and Scott, Frank Ventura and Terry Willems in drag - dresses and full makeup. Scott's full mustache and lipstick were priceless! But when he smoked a cigarette, the whole ensemble clicked.
Whenever I picture Scott in my mind, he always has a big smile on his face and he's laughing. He was truly a happy-go-lucky guy who rarely displayed any anger. Rest in peace Scott. You will be missed but never forgotten.
