Memories and Condolences

I grew up in the same neighborhood as Scott, and while visiting my brother Alan in the early 1980's had dinner in Framingham with Scott and my brother. Although it was a long time ago , in my mind it seemed liked yesterday , because I remember how kind and nice Scott was during that dinner. My sympathy goes out to you and your daughter, along with your mother-in law.

I grew up with Scott in Clearview Gardens, Whitestone NY. We were friends growing up and lost track when i left for college in 1974. We reconnected again in the early 1980's and had dinner in Framingham Ma. That was the last time we saw each other, although we spoke one time a number of years later, We were both on our way enjoying life. I was saddened to hear that Scott passed unexpectedly.
While I never had the good fortune to meet you or your daughter, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest sympathy to you and your family

I first met Scott several years ago in Cambridge, when he and Lori had just begun to date. I remember it clearly because Lori and I had gone out to take a walk and grab something for lunch, and were on our way back to Lotus, when she saw Scott. Lori said to me "Here's the guy I've been dating. I'll introduce you." And when she did I remember that I instantly liked him and thought that he seemed like a great guy. This first impression was reinforced and deepened as our friendship grew, and after he and Lori got married. Scott was a great husband and father; absolutley devoted to and appreciative of Lori and Samantha. I will miss him so much.

Dear Lori,
Scott and you are the kind of people that made working at Lotus a special time in my life.. and the Lotus spirit that continued to hold us together as IBM. I remember that I first met Scott when he was working on User Interface for the Freelance group on First Street. I loved his wonderful mind and attitude. I am so sorry for your loss, but happy for the time and the daughter you were able to share with him. My sympathies and prayers.

Hi Lori and Samantha,
Mike and I were away when the news came out about Scott's passing, and I only just learned of it.
I am so very sorry, Lori. I know how much you loved each other, and hope that you will focus on all of the great times and memories you created together as a family. I will be in touch to see if I can be of any comfort and assistance to you.
With sincere sympathy,
Mary C. Murphy

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I first met Scott when he joined Lotus back in 1986. Those of us who had the privilege to work with Scott will remember him for his infectious enthusiasm and unflappable good humor. It was always a pleasure to run into him from time to time since those early years. My deepest sympathies go out to you in this trying time.

I worked with Scott at ChannelWave in Boston. He was such an amazing, positive, fun person. I was deeply saddened to hear about his passing. He left a strong impression on me and I particularly remember him as being so very proud of his beloved family. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Lori and Samantha: I'm so sad to learn of Scott's passing. I've known him through our years at Lotus/Iris/IBM and have always enjoyed conversations with him. He was such a pleasant and friendly person. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, and that you can find strength to heal during this difficult time.

Lori and Samantha,
I'm another one who knew Scott from Lotus days. Though I never really worked directly with him I got to know him from his friendly personality.
More recently I would bump into him here or there, once at Pottery Barn Kids, or last year at the school fair in Lexington, when I attended with my daughter. I know how much he loved fatherhood and his life, and was a very happy soul. Know that his kind loving presence was a gift he brought to the world. Be still and remember what a fun spirit he had. It is still with us.

I worked with Scott at Channelwave. We were both product managers and we used to joke about which product was going to be the best. The truth was that anytime I needed help he was the person I'd go to. I really valued his opinion, his attention to detail, his easy laugh and his friendship. We'd often go to a Thai restaurant for lunch where he'd order the same beef noodle dish with "Coke, with no ice - no ice, please" and laugh when it would reliably arrive with ice. I loved his stories about trying to get grass to grow or building a patio or learning the violin. But mostly when I think of him, I think about the way he would light up when he talked about his family. Lori, you and Samantha brought him so much joy. I am so very sad and sorry for your loss. I feel grateful to have had him as my friend.

I worked with Scott at GPG and IBM Research. I remember Scott's smile, laugh and his great sense of humor. He was so proud of his family and especially, Samantha. Whenever I stopped by his office or saw him, he would show me Samantha's latest pictures.
He will be missed.

Lori and Samantha, I'm sorry I could not come in person to say good-bye to Scott. My thoughts are with you.
I sat in the office next to Scott this past year. Each month, when he turned to the next page of his Samantha calendar, he would come tell me the story that went with the picture. So many happy stories. He loved his family very much.

My deepest and most heart-felt sympathies go out to Scott's wife and daughter, and to his entire family. His passing is a difficult and terrible loss. Scott and I worked together at Lotus on domino back in the 90s. He had a positive, can-do attitude and brought a lot of joy to the rest of us every day. My thoughts and prayers go out to Scott and his family.

His infectious smile will be missed. He was a true professional. He found the positive in everything - including Workplace :). For someone who did so much right - this is soo wrong. My solace can only come by knowing that Lori and Samantha will have a guardian angel.

Hello Lori and Samantha, I haven't seen Scott in years but I still remember him from the old days in Freelance on Rogers Street. I heard the news this morning, and my deepest condolences go out to you. As many people have already said, Scott always seemed to have a smile on his face, and that's what I remember most about him. Wishing you strength and healing today, and in the days ahead...

Lori, I am so sorry to hear of Scott's death. We met as fellow product designers for Freelance. He was always cheerful and willing to laugh at himself. I used to tease him about his neatness by moving his tissue box when he wasn't in his office. He always laughed about it. A trivial memory but so Scott. I hope you and your daughter will always know how much he loved you.

Unbelievable to hear that our old friend Scotty D is no longer with us. As I type this I can hear his laugh. My most recent memory of him was the pride he had in showing me his daughter's picture at the Freelance Graphics 20th reunion. We will really miss Scott!

Lori, I was deeply saddened to learn of Scott's passing. I never worked directly with Scott, but our office's were just a few doors from each other and each night, he'd stop by for a chat on his way home. His smile brightened my mood no matter what the day was like. He was very special and will be greatly missed. My prayers go out to your and your family.

Lori and Samantha, my wife and I pass along our deepest sympathies. We are deeply saddened and shocked to hear the news since we had just enjoyed going out with you and Scott a few weeks ago. I've always known Scott since the early Lotus Days as a friendly guy with a nice smile and pleasant personality. Take care and keep in-touch.

Scott and I worked very closely together over the years, and he was so much more than a co-worker to me. We became good friends and would often get sushi-lunches together. He had such a great sense of humor, and could find a smile in just about anything. I will miss him.
