Tommye I am so very sorry for your loss. When I chaired the Hope Ball and beforehand chairing the corporate sponsorship committee, I can say hands down that I always enjoyed contacting Skooter and admired how you both were so generous with both time and money. Amazing really! I will always admire you BOTH. Prayers and respect! Angela

Working for Scooter was unlike any other job I?ve ever had. I noted amazing acts of leadership and charity for which he eschewed recognition. ?Charismatic? is often associated with Scooter, but ?perseverance?, ?passionate? and ?dedicated? are just as easily applied. Energetic and quick-witted, he was direct and decisive. Some of the best quotes I?ve ever heard came from him. Above all, he demonstrated abundant love and devotion for his family.

I pray for peace, comfort and respect for his cherished family.
