Scott Coleman Obituary
They were as close as three brothers could be, born in 1966, 1967 and 1970. Now there is just one. "Until Sept. 11, I have never known a day without my brothers," Todd D. Coleman, the oldest, said of Keith and Scott. "I miss them terribly."
As boys, they wrestled in their Westport, Conn., home, had bunk beds and stole pizza off one another's plates. They went to college, to careers in finance and to satisfying romances. They dreamed of raising their children in one big family with three smart, affable uncles at the top, said their mother, Jean N. Coleman.
When Keith's equities division at Cantor Fitzgerald became wildly successful, he drafted Scott to work for him. It was there, in the 104th floor offices at 1 World Trade Center, that Todd, 35, Keith, 34, and Scott, 31, were together for a last time this July.
At a memorial service on Oct. 20, Todd told Keith's wife, Elodie, and Scott's fiancée, Jessica Nardone, that he understood why men of grace and dignity loved them so. "I will try to live my life in a manner that will be worthy of their respect and admiration," he said. "Their memory reminds me that the world can be a wonderful place."

I'm a student at the University of Tulsa and today I was given a wristband with Scott's name on it to honor his legacy. Thinking of his family and friends and praying for their peace on a hard week.

I remember Coleman when I spent a couple of years as a nanny in CT we had lots of fun times and great memories with him and all the rest of the guys. We all had a blast with you. Think of you often! I remember when you called once and you were in England at your brothers and I was in Fairfield CT and I didn't believe you..always the kidder! But you really had gone to the UK.

Scott and I were co-workers @HBO in the early nineties. He was indeed a cute guy and fun to be around with. I'm sorry that you aren't around anymore...I pretty sure your family is devasted and continues to be devasted for they lost two sons that fateful day. I'm sorry too.....

To the Coleman family,
I worked at the same company with Neil a few years ago, and was devastated to learn of your loss on 9/11/01. Please know that you have all been in my prayers since then. I did not know your sons, but if they were anything like their father then they must have been wonderful men indeed. My deepest condolences to you all.

To the Coleman Family,
On this 2nd year anniversary I wanted to extend hope and prayers to all of you. I lived in Westport and knew Scott in high school (through his soccer buddies) and then we met up again in Colorado. I will always remember Scott as having a zest for life that was contagious and infectious. He was quick with a smile and had a kind heart. He was actually with me one night when my car broke down on a mountain road and we had to walk about ¾ mile to get to our friend’s house. I remember how he told me that it would be OK and he lent me his sweater to keep warm. I have my own child now and much greater appreciation for what a mother’s love is and what your loss might be like. I hope and pray that as the years go by you will find comfort in your memories and the knowledge that Scott and Keith will never be forgotten.
God Bless You.

To the Coleman Family,
My respect & condolences go out to your family. I have 2 sisters who I am also very close too. Even though we can have our differences I can't imagine my life without them. Just keep in mind that the they are looking down on each & everyone of you. May God be with you as this 2nd year anniversary approaches. Your family are always in my prayers. God Bless you.
I read this poem & i thought you might like it.
A million times we've thought of you
A million times we've cried.
If love alone would have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life we love you dearly,
in death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place,
no one could ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
Because part of us went with you,
the day God took you home.

To the Coleman Family,
I remember when Scott said he was going to work at Cantor. He was so very excited! We worked together at American Lawyer Media. We actually sat on the same floor very close to one another. I remember how happy he was when his brother was getting married. I used to joke around with him all of the time because he received so many faxes regarding this wedding..He was such a nice guy..funny!!
I was very sad, as well as others here at ALM, to hear that Scott perished in the WTC attacks. We couldn't believe it.
My heart goes out to your family. God bless you!

Scott and I grew up in Westport and had been at a few of the same gatherings in our high school years but we never really met. I noticed Scott back then (he was such a cute guy, he looked more like he should be on a surfboard somewhere in S. CA vs. being from CT) and one of the best parts was, that he could have cared less about being the center of attention - he was comfortable being who he was and who he was, was pretty dynamic. We finally met when he had just turned 25 and I was turning 24. He was at HBO, living on the upper east side and I was in CT so I didn't see him too often. I remember how the first night we finally met, we talked for a long time and I knew immediately that - wow, this guy is incredible. I'm extremely grateful for the memories we shared over the years to follow and hope Scott knows how special he was (and always will be) to me and how much I really miss him. Knowing how his last moments were spent just tears me apart but I know he's up there and I look up at the stars to pray that he's flying high somewhere up there carefree and at peace, looking down, watching over all of us who miss him and waiting for the time we all will eventually meet again. My prayers and deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Coleman family and all of Scott’s friends who I know miss him dearly too. “love touches us one time and lasts for a lifetime” from the Titanic pretty much says it all… Scott will be in our hearts forever.

I met Scott for the first time at Todd's wedding. I had heard so many great things about him from Todd and he was everything everyone has said about him. I know his family will miss him but he will never be forgotten. My heart goes out to all of you and God Bless.

We all miss you Scott.
I have known Scott since we attended Colgate together, and were members of the same fraternity. I came to know him best in the Fall of '93, and the years after college living in NYC. I grew to respect him, and always looked forward to seeing him. To the Coleman family, please accept my condolances.

I didn't know Scott personally. I knew him as a professional. I talked to Scott maybe five times in the last few months before 9/11 to clear up commission issues. He was a delite to work with. He was the guy who came in and cleaned everything up.
My heart goes out to his fiance, his family, and friends.

To the Coleman family.
Today, in particular, you are all in our thoughts. Yet rarely a day goes by when we don't think of you, and of Scott.
May you continue to muster the strength and courage you need to face each new morning, and may you find comfort knowing that Scott's memory will be forever etched in our hearts.
He touched our lives in many different ways, but we all recognised and admired in him the unwavering loyalty and love he had for his friends and family. You raised a beautiful young man who has left an indelible mark on all who knew and loved him.
Jean and John Moore,
David and Hannah

I knew Scott from HBO. There used to be a big table of us who would sit together at lunch. I left New York to return to Iowa 2 weeks before 9/11. I wanted to be closer to my mom and sister after the sudden death of my father in July. The grief of losing a young person or the sudden death of a loved one is truly devastating. But somehow I still wake up every morning with hope and love in my heart. God bless.

Scott was a teammate of mine on Colgate University's Soccer Team. Though I have not been in touch with Scott in recent years, it hurts to know that he and his brother fell victim to this senseless act of hatred.
I pray for Comfort for your family and Peace for your soul.
We will all miss you Scott.
