To the family of Carl Scott
I’m sorry to hear about his passing.My sympathy is with all of u. I got to know him from coming into Walmart where I work. He was very nice. He always talked to me when I saw him. Rest in peace carl
I am the widow of Bruce Dunham, who was welcomed by Carl as the first assistant principal ever at GHS. He always enjoyed working under Carl and he and I enjoyed several trips to conventions with them. He was a fair and generous principal and a good friend.
Dear Dad,
Though there is a vast emptiness in my heart right now, I know that you are free, happy and healthy. I know that after 21 years you are once again beside your beloved Mary Jo. And there are three cocker spaniels at your feet, each patiently waiting to have their ears scratched. Enjoy your rounds of golf with Mom, Uncle John and Aunt Shirley. Enjoy dancing polkas and waltzes with Mom. And play your accordion so that one day I will find my way home. I love you Dad. Until we meet again.
Condolences to the family. I was a graduate of GHS and remember Mr. Scott as a respected principal. May God grant you His loving grace.
To our dear Scott family,Alan and I were so honored to have been a part of Carl’s life.He was so easy to be around and always such a gentleman.Men of his character are few and far between.We will miss him.Our love and prayers go out to the entire family.
