I am sorry to hear of Scott's passing. I worked with Scott when he was with Onyx/Veolia just before he started working for Columbia County. He trained me to take over driving roll-off for him when he left Veolia. I enjoyed our many talks we had during that time. He will be missed. My Prayers and Condolences to his wife, kids and family. God Bless........Fly high my friend and God Speed
