The above link goes to the USSVI (United States Submarine Veterans, Inc.) Facebook page where their members who have gone on “Eternal Patrol” are noted.
I’ll keep my work here going, trying to get others who were not USSVI members. You’re encouraged to look there as well as here! Obviously, there’ll be some I miss and some I duplicate.

He met his wife Sharon "Sherry" Burbach Tullier at his parents' racquetball center in Stuart in May of 1984 when she was assisting a First Baptist School middle school tournament, and he asked her to play a set. They married May 5, 1985 with Sherry's three children, Madeleine, Danielle, and Damien Tullier attending. Their daughter Erika Kristin Rydell was born in 1985.
The family moved to Virginia as Scott was employed by the North Anna Power Plant for eight years. Their son Aaron Alan Rydell was born in 1988. Relocating to Middletown, Delaware, Scott was employed at the Salem Nuclear Power Plant in New Jersey where he became Control Room Operator until his retirement in 2022.
In Scott's free time he enjoyed coaching his kid's baseball teams, playing golf, going to the beach, and cruises with his family.
