I have known Angie since we were in first grade. I didn't start hanging out or sleeping over until middle school but we were constantly together and when you heard that garage door open you knew to get out of Scott's chair other wise you would get a "Kadi get out of my chair!!!" He was a strong man to raise his 3 girls who all turned out to be great daughters, mothers and friends! Rest in peace Scott.

What I know for sure is that he was a GREAT dad and so much more. Angie grew up with our daughter Missy. I know that he loved his family very much I, also know that they loved him !!! Rest in peace Scott !!! You put up one hell of a fight, I know you are in heaven looking for a slot machine that might pay. To his family I hope for peace and for to know that he is still watching over you. No more pain Scott rest in peace.

Angie and I have been great friends for a long time and most of my memories of Scott are ones that Angie shared with me. Angie would talk about her dad a lot, they were so close and shared a very special relationship. She was lucky to have him and he raised a daughter whom he made feel special every day. One thing I know about Scott Cramer is he was a strong man who loved his family very much. He loved spending time with them, especially his grandkids and they loved him very much. Scott will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
