Online Obituary for Dennis Peterson

Lost another Class Member: Scott Yeager

Hey, friends and classmates… (from a post on Facebook)

I’m sad to announce that Scott Yeager passed away suddenly at home yesterday. He is survived by his wife Barb, his son Colin (14), and his sister Stacie (Yeager) Gordon (class of ‘87).

Stacie has asked that anyone who would like to extend their condolences to the family know the following:

Today is Colin’s 14th birthday. I spoke with Stacie today and—in honor of Scott’s amazing storytelling skills—she asks that anyone who can please write to Colin and tell stories about who Scott was, particularly funny memories of your friendship (appropriate for a 14yo, please). Pictures would also be appreciated. She’s going to try and make a book for Colin. ❤️

Send your stories and pictures, as well as any other cards for the family to Stacie Gordon at 160 Windermere Avenue, Unit 3805, Ellington, CT 06029.

Stacie can be reached on IG at @Stacieface87 where you can IM her directly.
