I am deeply saddened to just have heard that Scott has passed. We would have been there to pay our Respects. My heart is so heavy I am trying to find the words. I have always told the story about how I was a year old and on your roof, it is a great story and I cherish the both of you. Please Sandi if you ever need anything at all, let us know.
Love Always,
Bo Natoli
Sandy, I hope you know how special you and Mr. Scott are to me, and Jo Anne as well. You always brought a smile to my heart, and pleasure to greet you. I feel a special bond with you because you were my first hiring decision, and I remain proud of our friendship. Please call on me for help if needed. I am crying with you and for you.
Norm Haddad and Jo Anne.
To Scott's family and friends,
I had the good fortune of meeting Scott and Sandy when I joined West Pharmaceuticals in 1995, Scott and Sandy were members of a large West family that welcomed me and my family and I am forever grateful for the good times and the memories that we shared. Scott and I remained close friends through the years and we shared many laughs and tribulations. Brenda and I were fortunate to have had lunch with Scott and Sandy shortly before Scott's illness and I am forever grateful for that time we shared together. Scott dearly loved Sandy and proudly shared a story with me about removing the fuel tank on his motorcycle to have a sexy picture of Sandy air brushed on to the tank (much to Sandy's chagrin!). I treasured Scott as a friend and a colleague, his passing will leave a void in my life. God speed my friend your work here is done.
Sincerely,
Steve Marshall
Sandi,
I'm finding it very difficult to express to you how very sorry I am for your heartbreaking loss, so here are some fond memories I have of Scott that may help in some small way. After years of working with you and Scott, I found that Scott was very compassionate and proud of his family, and held you in high esteem. He was always telling me what a special person you were to him and was always looking for some way to express that to you.
One time he chastised me for a sloppy wrapping job on a gift I wrapped for David, and for not taking the time to do a better job. He said that he always put a lot of effort and care in wrapping gifts for you because it wasn't just the gift, but it was also an expression of how important it was to him to make sure everything about his gift was perfect for you. He was a good judge of character, because he recognized just how beautiful, inside and out, you truly are.
He was always willing to help others and exhibited a lot of pride in doing a good job. When my 4-year old daughter's cat died, I told Scott how upset she got and was asking for Cosmo's ashes, and how I didn't have the heart to tell her I didn't have his ashes. The next day, Scott showed up at work with a jar of ashes he scooped out of his fireplace, with "Cosmo RIP" stenciled on the front of the jar, with a curled ribbon around the top. Needless to say, Marianne was thrilled with it, and she kept it on her shelf for years to come. Every time I looked at that jar, I thought of how considerate Scott was.
I loved Scott's sense of humor and how he would sometimes elicit that high little giggle at times when he was really tickled at something. He would also make me laugh with his amazingly good impressions of others, in a good-natured way, of course. Even after all these years, I still sometimes chuckle to myself remembering something Scott said, or did.

Condolences to Sandy and Family; Truly the loss of a man who will always be remembered and never forgotten. I worked with Scott and Sandy for many years at West and always admired Scott for whom he really was, a man who cared for others as he would his own family. A man who worked very hard and was respected for his work, a man who could change the atmosphere of any room he walked into just with his smile and personality. My heart goes out to you Sandy and family members in this time of sadness. God Bless you all.

Deepest condolences from Ann and I go out to Sandy and all of Scott's family and friends. I had the pleasure to work with Scott for 8 years. I never worked with anyone more dedicated than Scott. A few words come to mind for me when I think of Scott: Family, Creative, Team Player, Friend and most importantly "FUN LOVING". Life is clearly too short and Scott was a great example for all of us to make the most out of every minute we are given. Scott is someone who truly made a positive difference in anyone's life that he touched.
