Stamford, Connecticut
A Motorcycle for a Ring
For a first date, Randolph Scott splurged. A Broadway show, then a nice restaurant, and then, after learning that his date had a sweet tooth, a trip to Juniors in Brooklyn for its cheesecake. "When I was cutting the cheesecake he said, 'By the way, I'm never getting married,' " said his date, known less than two years later as Denise Scott. He even sold his motorcycle to buy the engagement ring.
A broker-dealer with Eurobrokers in 2 World Trade Center, the Scotts lived in Stamford, Conn., and had three daughters, Rebecca, 18, Jessica, 16, and Alexandra, 12. Their boyfriends called him Big Randy, the fun-loving parent who watched sports on television with them and chaperoned co-ed sleepovers.
Two years ago, Big Randy received a big present. Mrs. Scott, who never forgot his love-inspired sacrifice, gave him a motorcycle for their 20th wedding anniversary. He loved riding it so much, Mrs. Scott said, that during a summer trip to Canada she rode in a van with the girls and his sister's family while he followed behind ‹ "freezing" on his bike.
Mrs. Scott said her husband seemed like such a kid that many people were surprised to learn he was 48.
Some people teased him about being the only man in a house with four women (and a female dog, Whitney).
Mr. Scott, who grew up with his mother and four older sisters in Brooklyn, would reply, "As long as I have my own bathroom, I'm fine."
The Scotts would have celebrated their 22nd anniversary today.
I met Randy when he was a broker for Lasser Brothers, a long time ago. I was a trader and he was my broker - we went to the same HS just a few years apart. I left the business in 96 but will always remember Randy for his genuine kindness and integrity. He was a a great guy!

Today, my wife and I ran a 5k event at our State Capitol in Sacramento, CA, in rememberance of those we lost on 911. When I signed up for the event, I thought the "added bonus" was that I would be supporting the Sacramento Police Widow's and Orphan's Fund, since I recently retired from law encorcement and over half of my career was with Sac. PD (riding a motorcycle). However, little did I know the the actual bonus this day was the honor I had in placing a flag at Mr. Scott's name place in...
