It’s not often that I don’t have the words, but this is one of those times. Today I received a message from Mrs Seclark that she asked me to share with all of you. It’s not an easy message to even type.
Sec passed away this morning after a battle with cancer and ALS.
We communicated semi regularly and it was always a pleasure. Scott was one of the best humans, who lived to love his family and friends. Never once did he complain about his challenges, he was always so positive…and usually more concerned with what was going on with me. I can’t do him justice in this message, but in some of our last texts, when I mentioned his illness, he said the following quote that defines the man for me:
“I haven’t tasted food in 3 months. But I Am Blessed! I have family and friends who love me and stay with me. I have elders and a pastor who visit me. My grandchildren are my pride and joy and they come and see me. That’s all I need in life”
He was a great, great guy and I’ll miss him on a personal level. A random poster on a message board became someone I consider one of my best pals in life. I hope I can become as good of a man as I considered him to be.
It is my hope that CP can honor him, and I will find an appropriate cause or fund that his family supports and ask those who considered him a friend, Like I did, to honor him that way.
-Sec forever.

I'm saddened to read this especially on the cusp of what's coming this Sunday. All I can say as one of the oldsters around here, enjoy every day; enjoy every friend. Tell people you love them while you still can. If somebody has wronged you, find a way to forgive them and make it right. Getting old is not for pussies. God Speed SEClark

The moment that huge heart made its last beat the Pearly Gates opened to welcome SEC. We will miss his wisdom here on CP. Rest Peacefully Seclark you were legendary here on the Planet. Your pain and suffering is over.
My Prayers are Up and out for the Sec family.
