"Alec is full of energy, always excited to see what's around the next corner," Scott recalled."Incredibly empathic. Eats anything, including black olives. Seems to have a scary good memory — you can't pull anything past him you might have promised him a week ago. There's so much talent in there waiting to come out."
"Scott and I are two guys who never shied from telling one another how much we miss, love, and care for the other. One day, he randomly texted me, 'I miss you like the grasshopper misses grass . . . and hopping,'" Alec recalled."I loved it, so then I texted him back, 'I miss you like the anteater misses ants . . . and eating.' It became our own fun, unique way to say I miss you.

"There are no bad memories," he said."We did as much as we could together, often packing the weekends full of activities with Alec and friends and family.
