Oh, dear, sweet Scott. You helped me through so much. You listened to me when I was in despair and comforted me with your own stories of struggle. And it was you who brought me closer to my dearest friend Terry before and after he died. I miss you, though we only spoke deeply but once. And I so. miss my best buddy Terry. And I wish he were still here with me to remind me how wonderful life can be. With much love to Barbara who brought him into my life when I was 11, Thank you so much for sharing yourselves with me. Amy van der Lind

Matters it not That we are apart We shall forever be Together Whether in Our minds Or hearts Or both True friends Exist forever Physical selves matter not What we sought We attained A love that binds us So close together We are never apart I am your friend You are mine Wherever we be We are one. Peace, my friend, Charlee Ranke

Scott was a wonderful, inspiring human being. Once you met him, you never forgot him. He was a life long peace activist. He was devoted to his wife, Barbara, his dogs and humanity. He was a loyal friend.
