    We are very sorry to hear about Scotty. He worked in our home many times and did beautiful work tile and floor work. He was always a happy and talkative and aimed to please. There's no doubt he loved his wife and his daughter. He always talked about his daughter and was very proud of her. You have our deepest sympathy, and we pray you would be comforted by our Lord Jesus. Don and Jen Longstreth

    There are people that come into our store that just by their presence make your day better. Scott we one of those people. His greeting from the time he stepped in the door, hell, it could even start in the parking lot, was felt by our staff and other customers. His kindness to all he encountered there made him a customer that we all wanted to talk to and help! It will be hard for all of us not to see him walk through that door because there are just not enough of Scott Kneppers out there. RIP MY FRIEND Tommy Irwin Owner Fiore True Value Hardware

    My deepest sympathy to the Knepper family. Scott and I grew up together at SMS and spent a lot of great times together growing up. I'd run into him every once in the while over the years and he was always happy to see you and talk and catch up. RIP my friend. Pete Stoehr

    Scott was always worried about me after the passing of my wife earlier this year. Very selfless and hard working man. I will miss our after hours sessions under the carport. Heartfelt sympathy to Scott's family and friends. Kevin Fisher

    My deepest sympathy to the family of Scott. We went to the prom together in 1978. He was a wonderful person. His family was always good to me back in the day. Prayers for comfort at this difficult time. Kelly Bongiorno Pacifico.
