Our Deepest Sympathy
Dr. Dick and Kathy Splichal
I have alot.of memories of Scottie. Alot are wrapped up in the time spent at Cashway. I will miss his jokes(not always appropiate), his love for break time(especially his goat cheese sandwich, and of course his laugh. A laugh that came after he cornered you some place in the lumber yard and you could not get away.(aka his passing gas). Reat in peace my friend. Prayers for all…he will be missed!
So sorry for your loss. Hugs and prayers to your family during this difficult time!
Thoughts of peace, God's love, and comfort for Diane and for Scottie's children and their families. I appreciated Scottie's work and support for the family farm.
Our deepest condolences to all of Scotties family. We are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. Scottie was a friendly, kind and great man and will be missed by all. God Bless!
