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.
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.
My many condolences. Sad to see this day.
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 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
