  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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
