Scott Bart Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 11, 2001.
Start of a Marriage
Scott Bart and Elizabeth Cappell conducted their courtship in a 96th-floor office at 1 World Trade Center.

He was an up-and-coming vice president at Marsh & McLennan, she a student teacher at the nearby High School for Leadership and Public Service. When school let out, Ms. Cappell would grade papers alongside her future husband so that work would not separate them.

Often, Mr. Bart read the books his fiancée was teaching so they could talk about them. And he tried to confine business trips to one day.

The couple set a wedding date for Aug. 4, planned a Mexican honeymoon and bought a house in Malverne, close to his family and hers. Mr. Bart, 28, loved carpentry projects, learned at his father's knee, and had already built a chest of drawers and sketched plans for a deck. Mrs. Bart, 24, got a job teaching English at a Long Island High School.

The Barts' wedding day was vintage Scott, Mrs. Bart said. He did not want friends to spend a fortune for hotel rooms. So he turned over their new house — Hotel Bart, they called it — to a score of celebrants, who slept on couches, in sleeping bags and on the floor of rooms as yet unfurnished. He also rented a yellow school bus to transport everyone from the church to the reception. "He made sure everything was taken care of," Mrs. Bart said.

Back in November right before I left for my trip to NYC I met this lady named Amy at a bar here in Dallas . We talked about me goin to the memorial and she told me her friend Scott died on 9/11 when the attacks happened. He worked on the 96th floor I believe. I told her I'd visit his grave and send pics. Idk if I got her # wrong or what because I did text it and never got a response. Anywho, if this ever reaches Amy Colclough, just know I did what I promised you! #RIP

Scott's Family-
I knew Scott from SUNY Oswego. He was always fun to be around and a happy person. Scott made room for me at the brunch table a time or two and made me feel included and welcome. He never met a stranger.

September 5, 2013

Thinking at this time of year of our nation's great loss on September 11, 2001, I began reading, once again, of the precious victims of that day. I was especially drawn to the handsome picture of Scott, who was taken far too soon. He reminds me so much of my wonderful nephew at that age.

I was touched to read about his many accomplishments, and his love of life and family and friends. Being originally from the great state of New York myself, it was nice to learn that he went to school in Oswego, through which I have travelled many times on the way to Lake Ontario.

I extend my deepest sympathy to Scott's dear ones, with fondest hopes that, yes, you will meet again one fine day in Heaven, where he is waiting for you in the loving arms of God..

I'm glad I found this wonderful tribute to a fine young man who brought such joy to the lives of so many. May God bless you all.

Most sincerely,

Joan Schiemer,

I wanted to drop a line to say that you crossed my mind the other day when I participated in the 9-11 Memorial Run/Walk. Last year, I placed a flag on your name and that was my intention this year as well. However, I was unable to locate your name (they are not in alphabetical order). But your name will always remain in my memory.

I think about you all the time and on days like today I can't help but just miss you so much. Julissa understands a little more now and she asks me all the time about you. She always asks me if we miss you and if you miss us. I tell her YES AND YES, and I always tell her how wonderful you are and that we'll all be together again one day. It's through the love of our families that we still connect with you, and I hope you can feel all of the love that we have and will always have for you. Happy Birthday Scott.

It's hard to believe that 10 years has gone by. I never thought I could live a day without you let alone 10 years. There's been some wonderful life changes in the family over the past 10 years ones you would be and I am sure in Heaven you are so proud of. I just wish you could be here with us everyday. There's not a day that goes by that I don't miss you. I love you cousin Scott so much :) you mean so much to me. I miss you so much. I know you are always looking down upon us and watching over the family. I just wish you could be with us.

I've been thinking about you alot lately Scott, and I still miss you as much as I did 10 years ago. Seeing your brothers and sisters have babies and get married (Yay Kathryn!) is so wonderful and I know you are watching with so much pride. I just wish we could hear your comments!!!!!! You'll have to tell us everything you've been thinking another time. We love and miss you as always, and we'll continue to until we meet again. I love you Scott.

To The Family,
We don't know each other but I would like to tell you how sorry I am that one of your loved ones died due to terrorist attacks on 9/11. It's been ten years and it seems like yesterday. May God give you comfort and the hope of seeing Mr. Scott D. Bart again when he is brought back to life and will not have to worry about terrorist attacks or any other wicked acts and with the hope of living forever. God bless you.

Dear family and friends of Scott,
I have kept a ribbon with Scott's name on it since the first memorial I participated in directly after the tragedy. He sure had a great smile! I sincerely wish you peace as I do every time I see the ribbon in my jewelry box.

Hello,

We don’t know each other but I wanted to tell the family of Scott Bart that I placed a flag on his name at the 9-11 Memorial Walk in Sacramento, California. The memorial service was very touching. I don’t know what it was, but I felt drawn to Scott’s name. As soon as I got home I googled his name and was devastated to learn his story. I am so sorry he was taken so young and I can only hope his family has been able to keep his legacy alive. But please know his story touched my heart and the flag was waving in his honor yesterday.

I didnt know Scott D. Bart personally but I did know his father. I was a team member of his father when i attended Valley Stream North High School. When i heard of this sad news I was so upset to hear that someone I knew lost someone dear to them. Your memory was always in your dads heart. May you rest in peace.

Dear liz, renee, james, kat, and parents of Scott Bart,

I wanted to let you know that I have you in my thoughts and prayers today and also offer you a poem that has comforted me in bereavement. Peace and love be with you always.

Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference into your tone
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
Without the ghost of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolute unbroken continuity
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

Henry Scott-Holland, 1847-1918, Canon of St Paul's Cathedral

I knew Scott in High School. They way you pass people in the halls and say Hi, but no more than that. he was smart and talented. When I found out what happened, I was so sad for his new wife and family. My husband also worked in the WTC. I'm glad to have said Hi to Scott. Small town people know everyone. Scott, you have and will not be forgotton in our little corner of Long Island.

I met Scott in 7th grade and spent my high school days sitting behind him (alphabetical order). Over the years we established quite a relationship this way - making jokes, laughing, cheating, drawing, passing notes. After college we slowly drifted apart but stayed informed of each other through mutual friends. I treasure that about 2 months before September 11th I went to see his and Liz's new house and felt I had started the process of reconnecting with him. He seemed so at peace with his life - so happy at where he was in life. We planned to "hang out" again sometime after his wedding. I am so glad that I went that day - I hadn't seen him in years.

I can remember hugging him goodbye and it feeling like cuddling in an old familiar blanket.

In our yearbook Scott wrote to me, "You make me feel special and important". I hope that all those years later he still reflected on our friendship that way.

We shared so much of our adolescent tribulations with each other and I have a recurring dream where he's crying and he tells me he misses his family so much and I try to comfort him like we did each other when we were teenagers. The dream feels so real and I wake up feeling like I just saw him again. I like to believe that I did - that he really did visit me.

The things about Scott that I most remember are his wonderful sense of humor - especially his ability to see the humor in himself - and his energy to live his life fully. He was always so busy and energetic - I admired him for it. He truly seemed to live life to its fullest each day - I often wonder if he knew somehow how long he would be here. I'd guess he didn't waste a moment.

During a conversation about God we once had he told me that he didn't think human beings on earth were capable of understanding the meaning of life - that we weren't meant to understand it all now, why we are here, why things happen. I thought and still think it was one of the most brilliant things I ever heard. I think of what he said when the world seems to be such a scary and unpredictable place and I hope that Scott now understands it all. I think of his family often and hope they are well. Thank you Scott for the friendship we shared - I hope you are at peace. Rachel B.

I knew Scott Bart through a very good friend of his, Scott Perrucci. Scott was always a pleasant person to be around, and it was unfortunate I wasn't able to get to know Scott better. Both Scott's live in NY, and I in PA. Even though, again, we didn't see much of each other, you could easily tell what a special person Scott was. He will be greatly missed!! All my best to his family and friends!!

Scott and I were in the music department at SUNY Oswego. I could not believe what I saw one day after 9-11 when I was browsing an Oswego Alumni site. He was a wonderful person. So sorry for your loss.

Joseph R. Olefirowicz

November 9, 2002

After a few years of lost contact with me being overseas, I was shocked, saddened and enraged to find Scott's name on a list of victims of 9-11. Looking for his name online, and then finding "where" he is listed finally put a face onto 9-11 for an American living in Germany for a number of years, far away from "home."



Scott and I first met during a production with Oswego Opera Theater in 1994.



We became friends and remained in regular contact online. My memories of Scott will always remain during our last visit together in the City during my time rehearsing a new show written by one of his favorite composers, Alan Menken.



Scott's love for music, and his warm and loving nature will not be forgotten by those whose lives he has touched. Although I had not seen him since 1999, finding his name on a victim's list became a bitter reality as if he died "today" with me having seen him "just yesterday."



I send my love and prayers to all family and friends who are still struggling with the question "why?" But I am sure he is in a good place, watching over us and also looking forward to the day of being reunited with all of the people who loved and cared for him.



God rest his soul, and bless his family.

I am beginning to come to the realization that I am the most fortunate person alive. I have grown up with wonderful, caring parents, two amazing brothers, Scott and James and one great sister, Kat. The best part was we weren't just a family we were best friends. A year ago a part of all of us was taken away. That part will never be replaced. We continue to live each day in order to make Scott proud. Some days are successful while others are not so successful. We would not have been able to continue to survive without the support and love of everyone around us. I see Scott each day in everyone that he has touched. I must remember to treasure all that Scott has given to us and to pass on his courage, wisdom, and spirit to all those around us.

“Somehow I know we’ll meet again, not quite sure where and I don’t know just when. You’re in my heart so until then, it’s time for saying good-bye.” -The Muppets

It was with great shock and sadness that I learned of Scott’s death. I had opened the latest copy of our alumni newsletter to a memorial section dedicated to alumni lost in the attacks of September 11th. I was not prepared for what I found. Though Scott and I lost touch after we graduated from Oswego, he is one of the few people I formed a true friendship with while I was there. As we struggled through our intermediate, advanced, and managerial accounting classes, we would study together, though often were no better prepared for our exams. We lived in the same dorm, and it was always way more fun to hang out in the lounge, order a pizza or watch a movie. Looking back, we barely passed those classes. But those are the moments you never regret, and in the end you walk away with wonderful memories that far surpass a better test score, or a higher grade. I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a vibrant person and I was happy to have had the good fortune to have known Scott. Those of us that did were the better for it. My thoughts and prayers are with his friends, family, and wife.

Scott was my Senior High Prom date. He was also a good friend and we sang together in high school. I also used to pass notes to his younger sister Renee during the day at school. Such terrific memories of a vibrant and fun person. We lost touch years ago but a mutual friend still kept me informed of how he was and told me of his upcoming marriage. It's an unbelieveable shock to lose someone who was a part of your life at one time. My prayers for his wife and family. I think of you often.

A good friend once gave me a card that said "Friends are the family we choose for ourselves." For all the wonderful reasons you see written here, I chose Scott over 14 years ago, and lucky for me he reciprocated the choice. So many memories in those 14 years, especially from the "infamous" house on Harrison Street. Scott would play away on his piano singing his heart out while we would all moan and groan and call him "opera man." But he wouldn't quit and he would only play lounder and more and never change to appease anyone. That's the kind of friend he was: loyal, honest and committed. I once sent him an email that said "Happiness in a journey, not a destination. Work like you don't need money. Love like you have never been hurt. And dance like no one is watching." He wrote back, "You've seen me dance, I think it's obvious that I already do this."

Scott will never know how much he meant to me as a friend - a real friend. Anyone who has REAL friends, hold them close to you and never let them go. I hope he is watching over his family and Liz.

I remember considering Scott one of the big kids on the block ... though now, 20 year's later, I realize he was only two years older than me.

I lived down the block from the Barts, I played with their children, I went to school with them.

It was a simpler time back then.

I thought I was fortunate after the attacks that I didn't know any of the victims. I was wrong. And though I moved away from Malverne with my parents many years ago ... and have moved across the country since then, I remember Scott like I just saw him yesterday.

Riding his bike ... playing kickball in the street, and a memory of playing in his front yard, on the corner when he had a broken arm.

My sincerest condolences for the loss, and may God bring you comfort.

What a warm, friendly, heartwarming smile Scott has in the picture you have shared with us. His smile must be a reflection of his happy life. We are very sorry for your loss of Scott. May his life and love live on in those who love him. May you always feel the warmth of his love surround you. Our hearts cry with you.

Scott was my brothers friend. He had this funny way of just appearing out of thin air when Rob was home on leave from the army.

They would rent movies and laugh together for hours. I have to admit that I would sometimes tag along on their adventures in the city or on Long Island just because I knew I would laugh for hours. He was a great friend to my brother and I admired his zest for life. I feel blessed to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I worked in the World Trade Center for three years and realize that had I not moved to Florida I might still be working there. I feel a sense of kinship to Scott because I, too, worked on a very high floor of WTC 1. "It could have been me" keeps going through my head.



I am so terribly sad for his wife and family and want to express my sincere condolences. Please know that you will all be in my thoughts and prayers this holiday season. I'm sorry just doesn't seem to be enough but I truly, truly am. God bless you.

My sincerest condolences go out to the Bart family. I will always recall Scott in the very many fun-filled and happy memories of my college years, and of dorm life. He was a wonderful person... I am saddened by his loss.

They say three is a crowd. I never thought one of the "three Scotts" would leave us in this way.



Even without contact for so many years, I feel the loss.



My condolences to Scott's family.
