    So many people will miss Scott. He touched so many hearts in his short life. I will always remember him being at home (parents Chub and Jean) when I would come down for book sales at different schools with my brother Chub. We would all get together with our sister and brother-in-law have lunch maybe a few beers and I would then head back to N.J.
    I will miss the chats thru texting we have had over the past few years.
    The angels are there waiting for you.
    Love always
    Aunt Toni and Carl

    Scott was a great teammate. He was quiet but supportive of his team. I was proud that he stayed involved with Easton’s cross country teams. He will be missed.

    So very sorry for your loss. I knew Scott from running events at Air Products. He was on the Air Products team which ran in the Lehigh Valley Corp. Cup races at Lehigh University back in the late 80’s and 90’s. He always had a friendly smile and quiet hello.

    Scott touched so many lives especially at St Anthony Youth Center (now Easton area community center). He will be missed but all of his great works for this center and these children will live on as his legacy. He is an angel in heaven now. Please accept our condolences from the board, the staff and the children.

    It is with great sadness that I learned today of Scott’s passing! We worked together in the Microfilm Department at Air Products. This was our first job at Air Products. Scott & I were both single at the time & had some nice & funny experiences together during the 80’s! Some I will never forget & through those memories Scott lives on! My deepest condolences to his family at this very sad time!
