Scott Brunell

You may have noticed an absence of updates on this site over this last few months. It is with great sadness that I must report the loss of my best friend and our original webmaster, Scott Brunell. This site was Scott's brainchild. He created it and administrated it since it's inception.

Please feel free to explore Scott's life here.

It has taken those of us who loved him a few months to adjust to our lives without him as he was our father, son, uncle, brother, friend, mentor and cheerleader! It was his shining example that helped make me the man I am and his constant support that helped make me the actor I am. We are finally getting to the tasks at hand. Scott's son, Dan, will take over as our webmaster and I am grateful to have him at my side. The site will change and grow over the next few months as Dan steers it in the direction that Scott was hoping to take it. Please keep Scott Brunell and his family in your prayers.
