Our hope for Scott is he is sailing on the celestial seas of heaven for thousands of years.
Peter Framton- Do you feel like we do? Scott would call me sometimes when this song came on the radio, tell me to turn it on or play it over the phone and kinda sing it. Love ya Scott. We had some good times. Took me on several camping sailing trips to Canyon Lake and Lake Travis. He took me to an island on Canyon. When I got up there all the birds were making single tone calls all around me, felt they were gonna pounce. First time I ever saw a centipede, and it was gnarly. Also first time I ate cottage cheese on a cracker with pepper, it was really good. Mostly remember Lake Travis with him though. Camping and putting in at Pace Bend park. One night up on the bluffs camping we saw what we both swore was the biggest shooting star we’d ever seen. Scott said they were probably gonna write about it in the paper tomorrow. Remember jumping off the cliffs at night, only did that once but I kept taking breathes in anticipation of hitting the water. He surely could sail that boat. He’d be heading into an inlet and it’d get so narrow I didn’t see how we could get out and he’d turn about on a dime and proudly sail out. Travis had so many inlets and I remember we’d be sailing slowly and come around the air channel made by the inlet and take off. When he worked at the airport he showed me a diagram of an airplane wing trying to teach me how lift occurs. Still trying to understand that principle. Didn’t realize how much that had shaped me til writing this, I love sailing. Scott and my father separately taught me the enjoyment of it. Don’t think I was ever able to beat him in ping pong. Not when he was trying. Enjoyed some walks up Toms Creek under the huge cypress trees. Love ya Scott, quite an individual. Wish I would have made some more memories with you more recently. Believe you enjoyed life, that’s what it’s for. Pat n Chris- love y’all too. Gonna come see y’all soon. Always have a friend in me. -Andrew
We met Scott over 40 years ago in Houston Texas. His love for sailing and being near the water was always a big part of his life. His parents and sisters were also a guiding factor in his life. I remember a sailing story from shortly after he married Pat and we all went camping. My girls Amanda and Karla we around 4 and 2 and we only lasted one night at our camp site, too hot for us. We spent the day sailing, tipped over and Rick lost his glasses. Scott said he had never tipped before but Rick had jumped out causing the imbalance, creating the spill. It was a great memory but shortly after Pat and Scott settled in Kerrville and we moved back to Minnesota. Scott only came to Minnesota 2 times. Too cold for him! He loved playing the Fly game with the girls who would tease him about how he said FLY. We are remembering him with our thoughts and prayers. Sister-in-law Linda
