Not sure what to say?

I cannot believe it has been 10 years since John passed. He was an inspirational leader and partner at Tyco/Covidien. We are thinking of John's loved ones and pray you have peace and amazing memories!

Dear Karla and Family:
Please accept my deepest condolences upon the passing of John. I admired John from the first day I met him, in the early 1990's at Mallinckrodt (Covidien, Tyco). I always found him to be driven, very fair, and sincerely honest. I've often used John's demeanor and professional style as a benchmark, and will continue to do so. I truly enjoyed working with John on projects over the years, and oftentimes told him how refreshing it was to know where you stood and...

My most heartfelt condolences to the Scott family. I enjoyed working alongside John for nearly ten years at Tyco Healthcare/Covidien. He was generous with his time, his advice and his friendship. I learned a great deal from him....both in a professional and personal capacity. My thoughts are with his entire family.

My condolences to the Scott family.He was a key person in my personal development as a leader.
Thank you Scott!

John Scott was a great mentor. He taught me how to set clear business goals and comprehensive objectives in a changing environment. Helped me create an appropriate mindset to understand what success meant and how to achieve it. Brilliant encourager and kind business coach. I can still hear his soft voice telling: "Jimmy, the only thing you can control is yourself, anything else outside of your sphere use your capacity to influence them......" Hey John: Go now, join the Angels...

To the Scott Family:
Please accept my deepest condolences upon the passing of John. I had the privilege of working with John at Tyco Healthcare. John was a true professional who went out of his way to provide on-target and practical support to me and the entire organization. He had a deep care and concern for his work, his colleagues and the people we support. You must be very proud of the many, many lives that John has touched and the impact that he has made to so many during his...

Dear Karla and Scott Family: My deepest sympathies on John's passing. To lose him is to lose a little bit of ourselves. It was a pleasure and an honor to work with and under John's guidance at Covidien. He was our fearless leader. I will never forget his kind words, sweet singing voice or willingness to share his knowledge and his heart. May God's spirit comfort you in this most difficult time.

I am so very saddened to hear of John's passing.I work at the vet office where John & Karla bring their pets.I knew them way back when they had one dog.Now they have the 5 "Diva's" as they would call them.John would bring them in for grooming and always extended a hug to me.He was such a sweet, caring person.He will be missed.My deepest sympathies to Karla and her family.

To the Scotts,
I also knew John as a colleague at Mallinckrodt. He had a wry sense of humor and I remember him sharing how he worked half days -- 12 hours. My prayers for God's peace are with your entire family. Those we love live forever in our hearts.
