My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I love you, Dianne.
Dianne and Family,
My condolences to you all. Dianne, my heart just aches for you. I wish I could be there with you. My thoughts are with you and I hope to be there when you celebrate Scott’s life.
Scott was a wonderful man and we loved him. Indeed.
Martha and I have known Scott and Dianne for years, and we’re heartbroken to loose him so soon. He was a wonderful man and we enjoyed all our times together. Our deepest sympathies to Dianne.
I cannot fathom the depth of this. My heart is saddened. You are loved.
My many condolences. Sad to see this day.
There are very few people in this world that have the ability to bring peace and wisdom effortlessly into the world. Scott was one of those people! In every interaction I had with him, I always walked away better for it. You will be dearly missed.
With deepest sympathy for your loss, please know our loving thoughts are with you during these difficult times.
My heart breaks for you, Dr. Kraft. I cannot even imagine how this loss must feel. Sending you and your family all my love ❤️
Thinking of Scott and you with love, Dianne. It is so hard to believe he’s gone so soon. May his memory be a blessing.
Heartbreaking to lose such a special person so soon. Scott was a wonderful and supportive friend, whom I will always treasure. He was wise, kind, funny, smart, and compassionate. I will miss him very much.
Dianne, so sorry to hear of your loss. My most heartfelt condolences.
Around 1983, I hired Scott Whitebird to teach in our Communications/Technical Writing Department at Houston Community College. Scott was indeed a true professional, an excellent teacher and a true friend. I enjoyed working with him so much through the years and wish the best for his family. I am truly sorry about his passing. Best wishes and kind regards to Scott’s family. He will surely be mised.
I am so sorry for the grieving family; I am devastated to hear of his passing.
I only knew him for a couple of semesters at HCC, but he left a permanent mark in my academics and my spirit. He will be dearly missed
