There was more to Scott than the description in the obituary. He was one of the most "stand up" men one could hope to meet. He was very intelligent and witty. Just someone who made sure he gave everyone a smile. Tried to make their day better. He was on his regular jog at McKelvey Park in Harlingen when the good Lord took him home. Instantly, just like that. I used to go walk with him sometimes, and he always said hello to every person that he passed. Sometimes people would look at him with a wary eye. Just absorbed in what had happened earlier in their day or thinking about their troubles. Nowadays, people don't really say hello too much to people when they pass them. He didn't care. He kept giving them a smile and saying hello anyway. He said he didn't know about them, but it made him feel better. I always wondered who the lucky person was that received his last smile and hello. I know that it was the last word he ever said. What a gift that person got that day.
