Phil Trammel January 17, 2021 at 7:37 pmJust now finding out about this, I'm so sad. But I have that same memory, which helps. Byron and Scott both dove into a big ditch of water to celebrate…too cold for me.

Scott was my brother-inlaw,I’m married to his sister Sonja.
Back in the 80s before her went into the army he worked for me in the City of Gallatin Street Department. Scott wasca hard worker never complained about any had duties. That was really not what impressed me the most.
, There were a couple of guys that worked there that were kinda loners that really did not have many friends in the workplace. Scott took them under his wings and made friends with them. That really made a big difference in their lives.
That really impressed me about him.
You will be missed by so many,now he has gone to be with those two guys again bringing a smile to their face.
RIP Scott, another one of our vet brothers gone but not forgotten, Our country is proud of your service,
