I just wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you who responded to Scott’s tribute thread. I’ve been reminded over this past week how we Cowboys fans truly are family. The kind words, the poems, the pictures – they all were very special. I’ve been a Cowboy fan for 38 years (since I was 5), and I’ve never been more proud to be a part of this special group of people.
Scott and I went to games when we could, and anytime he was stateside, we would get together and watch the games. The stories you read in the tribute were just a couple of the great memories and experiences we shared together. I thought the wedding story was my favorite memory - here we are at the reception dinner, and Scott absolutely needs to know at that moment if we have a shot at homefield on Monday night!
He truly loved the Cowboys, and I know he would have been both humbled and honored by the outpouring of support. His wife Daphne has read the thread and saw the tribute picture at the top of the board. In her words, she said “Wow, that is incredible!” So know that all of you touched Daphne’s heart as well. She may post her words of thanks later on.
After the funeral service Friday, the Processional traveled through the streets in Stillwater to the gravesite. Here is a picture of one of the streets:
The line of people stretched for close to 5 miles – the entire way to the gravesite. It was one of the most moving experiences I’ve ever been a part of.
I would like to especially thank Hostile for everything he did with the tribute as well as being a pillar of support for me. We exchanged dozens of PM’s, and I can’t thank him enough. You see the true character of people in times like these, and I can tell you that Hos's heart is as big as the state he lives in.
Someone in the thread mentioned Scott and Coach Landry discussing the Cowboys. I’ll add that I bet he’s got Mark Tuinei, Harvey Martin, and Bob Hayes sitting with him as well, and they’re debating who’s going to make this year’s 53 man roster.
Rest in peace and thank you for your service to our country, my friend. I’ll always have a spot reserved for you next to me to watch every Cowboys game.
Please continue to keep Daphne,Jonathan,Samuel, and their family in your thoughts and prayers.
