Scott was a life-long Jehovah’s Witness and his hope was on Jehovah’s promise of restoring our earthly home into a paradise with the prospect of living forever upon it in harmony with God’s initial purpose. His belief in the promised resurrection was a central part of his faith. Scott now sleeps awaiting the fulfillment of Jehovah God’s promises. He called Ventura his mainland home, but his heart will always be in Hawaii. He truly lived by “The Golden Rule” & The ‘Aloha Spirit.’ To love each other as we love ourselves meant showing mutual regard & affection and extending warmth in caring with no obligation in return.
