My sister and I grew up in the 80's/early 90's. So he put up with our listening to Tiffany, New Kids On the Block, Wilson Phillips, and Mariah Carey. He didn't appreciate the grundge movement!

My brother Scott was almost 3 years older than I was. Since he was my only other sibling, we did a lot of things together as we grew up. We grew up in Roseland, a neighborhood on the south side of Chicago, and then moved to South Holland, IL. Growing up we played a lot of baseball and basketball, not only at a playground but also at home, so we became quite adept at fixing broken windows. In Junior High we discovered the wonders of chemistry and had great fun experimenting with chemicals that would either catch fire or explode. It’s a wonder that we both kept all our appendages. Our father passed on his love of fishing to Scott, so it was no surprise that he was the one who caught the biggest northern pike on our yearly trips to northern Minnesota. It was the only one worth mounting.
After I graduated from college, unsure of what to do next, it was Scott who got me a job at the company he was working at. It was just another example of how he was always looking out for me. Though he never trained as a carpenter, electrician or plumber, he was able to build two houses by himself, and later on undertook a big remodel/enlargement of the house that he shared with Becky.
When my wife Carol and I took over the responsibility to maintain a cottage on Gun Lake, Michigan, Scott helped me to realize that I could replace the roof and then spent several days helping me. He was always willing to share his expertise, that he acquired by learning himself.
Scott was not one who sought out the spotlight, but rather was one who enjoyed time with his family, spending time outdoors, enjoying the simple things in life.
Dementia/Alzheimer’s’ is a terrible disease, but Scott seemed to bear it with grace and dignity. He always would smile when I came to visit and continued to enjoy Frosty’s right up to the end. May God give Becky, Kari, Shelly, Erik and Jack and the rest of the family his peace and comfort.

My dad once told me, when I was very young, that he invented the egg mcmuffin sandwich. I believed it.

I’m the lucky woman to have shared my best years with Scott. He was a dream to be married to, supportive, helpful, considerate, thoughtful, generous, sensitive, so many great attributes that I never knew one person could have! He was also very fun to live with, I have so many fond memories, I pray I never forget. I have so many pictures of Scott, a most handsome man, a showstopper of a smile, comedic antics, and sometimes just him thinking or reading. I am grateful to have found that kind of love, received it and the chance to love so deeply. I am also very lucky to have been married into his amazing family. His kids, Kari, Shelly, and Erik, Shelly’s girls, brother Dan and his wife Carol, and of course Phil and Marian always included me and my children, treating us as family, loving us as family. Scott’s family was the icing on the cake, their kindness continues to mean so much to me. I will miss this man of mine, but I am so thankful to have known him so deeply. He lives in my soul, now and forever a part of me. I’m blessed with Jack, who has Scott’s big green eyes to remind me. Becky

Scott was a true blessing to our Christian Care Family. He loved the outdoors and would sit out there anytime he could. He will be missed. This is not goodbye this is until we see you again.
