We hope that this memorial will recall for those who knew Scott or saw him play, a vision of his achievement and the joy his extra effort created for each of us. Hopefully, it will also help the young men who follow him at St. Francis de Sales School to be consciously aware of how short their lives can be, and inspire them to put forth the extra efforts that can change significantly the lives of those around them.
