with the career path he chose, so Scott decided to follow in his

kids and grandkids who meant the world to him.

Chamber of Commerce, a volunteer on the Wallace County Fire Department,
and was the City of Sharon Springs Fire Chief. Scott served as a Wallace
County EMT and loved helping others. He was proud to be the first to
receive the Sharon Springs Volunteer award. He always enjoyed working on
vehicles, watching NASCAR with his daughters, watching their ball
games, being Pa to his grandkids and just dearly loved spending time
with his family and friends. Scott showed his love for people by not
only his actions, but also by his playful greetings.
