what a shock. I met Scott in our sophmore year. I remember the he signed my yearbook all three years. He always had a joke for me.
Soctt was so easy to know.. He was really kind. He always made a point to rib me in class. Thanks to Scott, he made highschool a better place.

Indeed, as Joanne wrote, Scott "made high school a better place!" The Nance brothers were such great fun--Bugs, who was a couple of years older than us; Shirl, a year or two younger, who we lost in Viet Nam; all the other Nance siblings that I didn't know; and then dear Scott! Another classmate that we've lost too soon. But his reunion with Shirl must be a great one, and those two will be bringing a lot of laughter to the other side. Highland was fortunate to have known you both, Nance bros!

Scott was a humble salt-of-the-earth type of guy whose friendship was true. It was an honor to know him- he will be missed.

I have nothing but good memories of Scott. He was lots of fun to be around. If I remember correctly, junior year we were standing around in the south parking lot in our wool NDCC uniforms waiting for the start of the yearly parade to the football field where parents and dignitaries were waiting, and Scott was one of a handful of guys who locked their knees and passed out onto the tarmac. A few minutes later a spring thunderstorm blew in and the ensuing cloudburst ended the entire exercise!
