On October 31st, 1988, Scott married the love of his life and his best friend, Rhonda Botkin in Tulsa, OK. Their marriage was a testimony of love for over 34 years, and together they raised two sons and one daughter, David, Scotty, and Michelle. Scott made a living as a Servo analyst, working with Baldor Electric for over 23 years. He enjoyed working for his Baldor dad, Michael Kunde, and was faithful, professional and always ready to lend a helping hand wherever he was needed. Scott was the kind of friend that everyone wanted on their side. Patient, and kind, with a wonderful sense of humor. Whenever he wasn’t working, he loved the outdoors and hunting or fishing. He took great pride in his bass tournament fishing skills. He enjoyed the occasional night out to a comedy club. The best part of Scotts life was his love and devotion to his family. He was a foster parent for over 9 years, but they were always Scott’s kids.
