-He loved twix bars

-He loved to sing the Michael Jackson song "the dog-gone girl is mine" outloud to John Jensen, b/c John would introduce his girlfriends to Scott and then Scott would steal them away from John

-Everyone told him he looked like Richard Todd, the quarter back for the NY Jets, when he went to football camp, with Joe Naimeth, they gave him a hard time b/c he looked so much like Richard Todd

- When Rebecca and I would fight he would stand between us and say "easy killer easy" until we calmed down

- One night I was working the late shift at the Limited in a blizzard and when I got out to the parking lot the battery was dead, I called Scott and he gladly came with jumper cables and jumped the car in a blizzard, at 10 pm on a week night without complaining

- He loved to visit me at the Limited b/c all the girls I worked with thought he was gorgeous

- He didn't act obnoxios like a lot of teenage boys, in fact Jill Jensen used to say to John, why can't you be more mature like Scott Horsley-I wish he as my brother

- We called him "Scott-Titto" which meant "'Little Scott" in spanish, he took it very well, and never cared that we teased him<

- He had really funny looking thumb nails, Mimi Whitmore had the same nails and when they saw each other they used to hold up their thumbs

- He taught Rebecca and I to drive a stick shift by taking us to the steep part of Greylock Ridge, he was very patient as the car died over and over and we burned the clutch

- I confided in him a lot and I knew he would never tell anyone, he was never judgemental about what I told him

- Mr Avery who was the biggest grouch in the world and hated everyone, loved Scott and used to bring over his leaf blower (I think that's what it was) and insist that Scott borrow it

- Scott made all sports look so easy b/c he was so athletic, Stewart Furman would practice throwing a football through a tire for hrs. and Scott would still get to start, which annoyed Mr. Furman, Scott also got Most Valuable Player

- Scott would always find a way to break into the house after school when we were locked out

- Scott handcuffed the t.v. set to his bedroom desk so that Rebecca and I couldn't take it to college.  He then went to school- boy we're we pissed when we couldn't take it with us to college

- Scott used to beg me to steal Rebecca's seminary books while he would be on the lookout for her to return.  She hid them really well, so sometimes it would take me awhile to find them.  He would then pay me to copy all her answers into his book so that he didn't have to copy them himself, I would write with my left hand so that the handwriting in our books was different - Thanks Rebecca, we never had to do an assignment-your awsome :)

-I also got Alergy shots, and often Scott and I would go together.  I never had a reaction, but he often did and I would look at his arm and there would be this hideous red bump, I would start laughing and he would say "shhh" we have to sneak out of here before the nurses see this or we will be here forever.  Then he would sneak out and we would laugh all the way home as his arm continued to swell

-When I went to college I no longer had a room to sleep in, so in the summer I would often sleep on Scott's top bunk, we would talk late into the night, and he would give me advice about guys

-When Rebecca would practice the clarinet, all of us would blow on Rebecca's clarinet when she was in the bathroom and she would come out red faced and chase us around the house, b/c we got our spit into her clairenet and she would have to clean it before blowing on it again - obviously Rebecca must have enjoyed this or she would have taken the clairenet into the bathroom with her :)

-We all enjoyed going to Chuckee Cheese at night a lot and each of us had games that we were really good at (ie; Rebecca's was pacman, mine was space invaders, I think Heather's was frogger??)

- Whenever I would say goodnight to a date I could here Scott raising his shades and opening his window so that he could spy on us and see if my date kissed me good night, he would then give me a hard time.  Even if it was very late he would wake up to spy on us.  I would pretend not to hear him, b/c I didn't want my date to get irritated

- Scott never got a clue that my dates wanted to be alone with me.  When I was with George Kavanagh, he would stay in the room and talk excitedly about sports.  It was very cute, and I thought it was funny, although I don't think that George shared that feeling

- Greeted dad with "Hi Pops"

- Liked to wrestle with Dad

- One Christmas George came over with a Christmas present, I had nothing for him, so I gave him a sweater that was meant to go to Scott, he didn't even care.   

-He put up the Christmas tree one yr. and it kept falling on him, he didn't have a shirt on, and had a mild reaction to the needles, his chest was very red, I took a picture b/c I thought it was funny - he flipped me off-but he thought it was funny also (oops, sorry H-I don't think you want those kinds of stories)

-Everyone said that he would make the best husband b/c he had 3 sisters that kept him in line and he was so nice to females

-He shared a bathroom with 3 girls and had to take a shower while we were putting on our makeup-boy was he loud when he towled off!

-He used our curling iron to flaten those great curles

-He told me how much Dad made when I was in Highschool-I think he said around $83,000-maybe he would have been a money manager with his interest in other people's salaries :)

-He took that girl in church to a school dance, the ugly one in a back brace (H you know the story) - this story basically sums up what an amazing person he was

-I think we were all very very close to him in different ways, we all had our own unique relationships with him

-He was my little brother, he looked up to me for advice and information, and confided in me often as his older sister...it's hard to put into words what he meant to me....he is loved and missed.....
