Scotty lived and breathed lacrosse. Officiating was a big, big part of his life. He reached the highest level of the profession and was extremely well-liked by his fellow officials, well-respected by coaches at all levels.

Everyone did everything possible to help him. It all happened so suddenly... there was nothing that could be done.

It was kind of like a dream while it was happening. I just could not believe it was all real. It's something that stays with you forever. Not many days go by when I don't think about Scott.

It would seem to me his grandfather was just very matter-of-fact. These are the expectations of life. This is what you must do to be successful. But more than anything, he created an environment for him to have peace and be able to feel secure.

You've got a right to try to live the life you choose.

This can't be life.
