'I would not be here if it wasn't for this heroic man. Scott was my soccer coach and had saved my life from when I drowned in a pool. I am deeply sadden to hear he is not with us anymore. Your dad was such a good man. God bless you Scott and your family, you will forever be in my heart.'

'It is with a heavy heart we just found out about the passing of Coach Scott Crail. Scott was not only a hero of our country, but a hero to our family, personally. His heroic act of CPR saved my sons life in a drowning incident. We will forever be thankful and hold him dearly in our hearts. Tanya, we are so very sorry for your loss. Please know we have you and your beautiful children in our prayers.'

'From one father to another, I will always be grateful and hold Scott dear in my heart. If it wasn't for Scott's immediate help, my son would not be with us today. We are truly saddened by the loss of our friend and hero. I am not surprised to see how he affectionately touched so many people. Scott may you Rest In Peace my friend and I hope to see you again someday to give you one last THANK YOU. YBIC David'

'Scott is a mentor to me. He took time out to chat with me about life and work. When he was at AFRRI I asked if he went TDY a lot. He said (with a sigh) that he had set foot on every continent except Antarctica in the first six months at AFRRI. He was inspirational in showing me work-life balance, and I will remember his mentorship. God rest his soul. The rest of us are lessened by his passing, but the Lord called back a great Soldier-Scientist. May Scott have a lot of fun in Heaven! He deserves it!'

'Tanya, Joey, and Alli, My deepest sympathies. Scott was a great man and I miss him very much. He always put a smile on my face. He was a constant force in my life. Whenever I needed to hear a friendly voice, I would call Scott. We would talk football. He never pass up the chance to belittle the Packers and say that I owed him a quarterback. All our lives are poorer from his departure. Know that many loved Scott and he was a good man. Every time I see the Bears logo, I will think of Scott and offer a prayer for all of you. I wish I could do more.'

'Tanya and family I'm so sorry Scott has passed. He was a great guy that I remember fondly from graduate school. He made a mean smoked pork ribs that I liked so much I invited myself over to your house the next day for leftovers. RIP'

'I had the absolute pleasure of working with Scott at AFRRI on active duty. We shared an office. He was truly so kind and funny!! He made me laugh daily and was one of my favorite colleagues and friends. I am so saddened to hear of his passing. Sorry to the entire Crail family for such a loss.'

'I hadn't seen Scott since we were in the third grade. We were best friends until he moved to California. I still remember spending nights at his tiny country home outside of Durand and then at Lake Summerset. That year I lost my two best friends. Scott Crail to California and Scott Alberstett to the Lord above. So sad to think about them both being gone. My sympathies to all.'

'Always a good CBRN office mate he was just an all around good guy. Thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.'

'Played football with Scott in high school. Always a joy to be around. So sorry for the loss of the Crail family. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Too young to lose such a vibrant and GOOD Man.'

'So sorry to hear about Scott. I grew up with him living in the same neighborhood. Such a nice person and a true person. Many awesome memories playing ball and attending school with him.'

'Leave a condolence or a memory. Please except my sincere condolences to your entire family . God bless you all .'

'Only the Lord, author of all things, knows our appointed time and place. For a shocked and grieving circle of friends, yours seems far too soon. My condolences to his lovely family. I hope that with time the loving memories of this fine man may help lessen the pain of his passing.'

'Scott and I went to grad school together at OSU. He was a great guy to hang out with. After all these years I still remember his smile and laugh. I'm sorry for your loss'

'Not only were you a hero to our country, but a true hero, mentor, coach, and role model to all the children you coached throughout your years! I will miss being your assistant, seeing you around the "hood" and your all of your awesomeness! Your friend forever!'

'Our family has so many wonderful memories of Scott. The kids were telling stories about him today and we were laughing about how he was just a big kid. We will truly miss our dear friend. Joey and Alli, your dad was so proud of you - you were his pride and joy. We love you and are here if you ever need anything.'

'I'm already missing his good humor and quick wit. Scott was my go to person when I needed smart answers to tough CBRN questions. My heartfelt prayers to his family.'

'I remember Scott well. What I remember most is his big heart. My memories of our Thursday night poker games and our Las Vegas trip are cherished. But most of all, I remember how thoughtful he could be. When a beloved dog of mine was hit by a car, he sent me a card with the most thoughtful and heartfelt condolences. I miss him although our paths have not crossed in too many years. God bless!!'

'Our prayers and thoughts are with your entire family. This kind and gentle man will be truly missed by all.'
