   Yesterday at 4:38 PM we lost a very good friend to cancer. Scott McNeer, CGCS lost his battle with colon cancer at the young age of 39. Scott was diagnosed the week after the GIS show of last year. It has been one heck of a roller coaster ride for his family ever since. Scott was a great man, superintendent, GM, friend, father, husband, and mentor. He will truly be missed by the ones that were blessed to have known him. He leaves behind his wife Kim, and two young daughters Molly and Emma. There is a phrase that the grass is always greener on the other side. Well, you dang right it will be now because heaven just got a great agronomist!. He will never be forgotten. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayer. We love you McDaddy!
   
   With love,

   Never met or knew him, but to lose one of our peers at such a young age is a tragedy. My thoughts are with his family now.

   Scott,
   
   I'm sure all of the boys up that way are missing a great friend and mentor. Please let me know if you guys will be doing anything for his family, as I'm sure many of us would be happy to participate.

   Did not know Scott personally but received an email recently about his situation as well. My prayers to his wife and children.
