Scott was a role model and mentor for the Poochie’s family, and especially for heather and I. Scott was definitely creative in his engineering! as it says in the obituary. He was very generous to let us borrow his brain so often to solve impossible problems. And his words of wisdom would always hit the mark for me, right when I needed to hear them. And he was a great listener even more so. He always believed in us and motivated us. We sure will miss him. What an honor it was to know him! Thank you for everything Scott.
David and Heather Kophamer; and the “old Poochie’s crew” who all loves you too and will remember you forever.
