Ecclesiastes – Chapter 3
1 There is a season for everything, a time for every occupation under heaven:
2 A time for giving birth, a time for dying; a time for planting, a time for uprooting what has been planted.
3 A time for killing, a time for healing; a time for knocking down, a time for building.

Dear Becky, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband and your girls’ dear father. I will keep all of you in my prayers, God bless you all, Betsy Lussier
So sad to hear the news. I have not seen Scott in many many years. Probably last time was in 1992. So sorry to hear the shocking news. All my families condolences to everyone.
Becky, Emily, Abby, Molly, Doug, and Claire my heart aches for you all. I only got to meet Doug and Abby on different fishing trips with Scott but I came to know you all by name when Scott and I would spend time swapping stories while fishing over the last several years. When I definitely did did have the pleasure of knowing him as long as each of you or other friends, Scott and I made a connection a fews years back through a mutual friend, Chris Nichol, and formed a strong bond from the very first day. Scott had a smile as big as the world and a heart even bigger. He was one of the few that came to visit me in the hospital when I had lost my vision for several days. And instead of flowers or magazine or some other standard hospital gift, what did he bring his fishing buddy? A brand new lure and encouragement for getting better soon and back on the water together. A friend I will never forget and forever miss. Calm seas and fair winds buddy!!!!!!

Becky,
Nothing can be said to ease the pain right now so I will just focus on the guy I knew. A guy with a heart of gold who would do anything for his friends and family. A guy who’s laughter was contagious and friendship was cherished.
We all have so many great memories of Scott but I will always remember Scott as my brother and someone who deeply cared about the people close to him. We will all miss him so much but we will keep his memory alive by staying close and honoring him every chance we get.
Beck, you have plenty of people around you who love you and I know you know you have an army of Wascals and Gators who will be there for you for whatever you need from this point forward. God Bless you and the girls, Michael
