I am a professor at Mercy College of Health Sciences. I will miss Scott stopping in my office in the evening. He always had a smile on his face and would joke with me about needing to quit working so late. I know that Scott was well liked by our students who knew he was there to help them feel safe. I overheard a group of the students talking yesterday about how much they appreciated and will miss Scott. Thank you for sharing him with the Mercy College community.

I was so very sorry to hear of Scott's passing. I work in the Library at Mercy College of Health Sciences and Scott used to stop in for a short chat when I worked the evening shift. I don't think I ever saw him without a smile. When my shift was over, he always made it a point to either walk me to my car or watch me from a window which always made me feel safe. He was a great man and he'll be missed by many.My heartfelt condolences go out to his family. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Posted by Kimberly - Des Moines, IA November 30, 2011

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. I am an adjunct professor at Mercy College. Scott always had a ready smile and a How are you doing today for you. He had a way of picking you up and making you feel better when you were tired after a long days work. When my classes got out late in the evening he would always be around to make sure that I got to my car okay. He touched many peoples lives here at the college and he will be greatly missed.Irene Bertsch Posted by A friend November 30, 2011
Scott, or Kelso as we called him, was always kind, considerate, and caring. He took time to get to know the students at Mercy, and to keep each of us safe. He used to joke around with us, when we were burnt out from studying into the evenings. He was jovial and always ready to help. The last time I saw him, I was walking to my car in the dark, and he was making his rounds. He stopped to talk to me and make sure I got to my car safely. May you find comfort in knowing that he is with God. He will be greatly missed; but, someday, you will see him again! Posted by Sara Lydic - Mercy College of Health Scie, IA November 30, 2011
Our sincere condolences to you and your family at this very difficult time. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Posted by Mrs. Mireles @ Windsor Elementary - Des Moines, IA November 30, 2011
Scott was always fun to be around growing up. I remember the hot rod cars we had in school at Kremlin. Scott would always have a driving passion to make sure on every football play that everyone would suck it up and play their hearts out. We always had goofy times with our fun we had in Mrs. Lang's Home Economics class. Making pies was more than just baking, it became a dough throwing contest unfortunately we didn't always come out on the winning side of that contest. The comical OOOOYEE, OOOOYee that Scott and I would verbally express to one another, really don't remember what it meant but in high school it was just a silly thing that we even did at our last class reunion that Scott and Susan attended. My wife Donna used to work with Scott at the Car Wash in Enid. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Kelso family. Susan may you know even though distance has become a part of location choices you and Scott and your family have always been loved by us and Scott's memory will forever be branded upon our hearts. God now has a new angel to watch over you all. God be with you all. Posted by Michael Day - Chickasha, OK - friend November 30, 2011
