I worked with Scott at Richman Goodman. We were managers together at the store. We became fast friends. I have read through all the memories posted here and that is the man I knew and loved. Somehow we lost touch and I would google him every so often to see if I could find him. I am heartbroken to find he is no longer on this earth. He was the best friend a girl could have and I have missed him so much being a part of my life. Sending his family my deepest sympathies.

My condolences to Scott's family. I'm at a loss on what to say. A little over 3 years ago Scott gave me an opportunity to be a part of his team and become a manager in our resupply department with Apria. He's always been there for me whenever I needed anything. To vent on anything life threw my way work related or not. He always gave me advice on how to approach situations and we always worked together to find a resolution that worked best. For all the years I've been with Apria and worked for other companies as a manager. I never felt like someone supported me and had my back more than he ever did. This world has truly lost an amazing person and I feel like I lost a family member.

Scott was one of my best friends growing up. I have thought of him often these past years and wish I could have seen him. I love him like a brother. The times spent with him, Daniel, and Greg were some of the best times of my life. Please let me know when there will be a service in his honor.

Scott and I met while he was in Dallas on business for Olson-Blackburn. He was intelligent, insightful and witty. I was drawn to his personality immediately. Before I knew it, I had joined him in Witchita.
He had that rare and treasured gift of being direct and sensitive too. Whenever his eyes twinkled and he grinned, I knew his sarcasm was coming around the bend. No matter how I tried, I could never quite match him so I'd concede by declaring "The Goos Knows!" We'd both laugh.
Even though our relationship changed, I still valued his insight and friendship and celebrated his success. He was a born leader and knew what was good for you even if you weren't prepared to hear it. He said it because he cared about you. It was both challenging and encouraging....and 99.9% of the time he was RIGHT!
Knowing Scott made me a better man and I'm thankful to God that He intersected our life paths.
I am sad yet I know God has placed Scott in charge of some department in Heaven and we'll all be continuously blessed by this Special Angel.
May God's strength, love and peace sustain his family and friends.
Love,
Derric E. Dickson

In addition to our regularly scheduled weekly meetings, Scott was my "early morning buddy." Being on the east coast (and having to wake up kids for early school bus trips), I routinely start my day earlier than most - and Scott would always be online slightly after me. If we have questions for one another, we would have some impromptu meetings occasionally before the day got busy. Thinking of his distinctive voice and laugh during our chats will remain with me. His insightful analysis, along with his witty humor, make every interaction worth every moment that you spent talking with him.
My deepest condolences and sincerest prayers go out to all of his family, friends and fellow colleagues. Scott will indeed be truly missed, and my thoughts will be with each of you during this time of grief.
