Scott...You were always the entertaining one while I worked at Circle. Be it a crack at the Broncos or a harmless one at me! You were helpful when you needed to be, and just good company always! You could clear a room (and often did proudly!) and while that may not be the best thing to remember, it was just who you were and I loved you in spite of it! I remember when you told me you knew my dad...that was a special memory I will always have. Keep on smiling and spreading the laughter Scott. You will be dearly missed!

Jan and Family, Please, accept our deepest condolences on Scotty's passing. I first met him in 1971 when he was bowling with our son David. They played YAL baseball and won the city championship in 1974. As teenagers they bowled on the same team and our families traveled as far as Dallas to national and all the Colorado state tournaments. Of that team Scotty, Lee and Steve are with the Lord now but their accomplishments as being the best junior bowlers in state will always be remembered. He was like a son to us and was here probably as much as he was at home. Always a cutup with a smile on his face. With sorrow in our hearts, that cannot be expressed in words, we pray that you find peace knowing that Scott is with his old friends. Bob and Sally Gorczyca
