Scott had a zest for life, a kind and generous spirit and genuine love for his family and friends. He was a mentor and guide for dozens of people. In his humble manner, he befriended and helped many. He did take great pride in his tennis game and had a wicked serve.

Dr. and Mrs. Miller,I was so sorry to hear about Scott. It was such a shock. I saw him about two years ago by Tail Spin. I had to tease him about his hair loss,because when he was a young boy, I told him he looked just like his Dad. He let me know real quick that he had more hair. I will always remember how cute he was. All of you are in my thoughts during this sad time. Sincerely,Sherry
- Sherry Hanel Shealy, Savannah, GA
What an unimaginable loss. Marcia and I can only extend our heartfelt sympathy and love to you.
