Scott Cotlar

I first spoke with Scott 7 months ago. He contacted the volunteer organization that I work for, partners in Torah. He wanted to learn more about his Jewish roots and how to prepare for his death. I was able to introduce him to two men who answered all his questions. The first conversation I had with Scott was so meaningful and powerful to me so I made extra effort to help Scott with whatever he requested. I found that he always spoke with such integrity. The one thing that was so...

I worked with Scott during his time at MedVance. He was one of my favorite people. His compassion and empathy as well as his commitment to help his students was a true inspiration.
I'm so sorry to hear of his passing, he will be missed by all who knew him. The world is truly a better place for having had him in it. My deepest sympathies on your loss.

The Kline Family is greatly saddened with Scott's passing. What a warrior in his fight against cancer. The Cotlar Family is in our prayers.

I'm so sad about Scott. My heart is with the entire Cotlar family.

I was blessed to meet and get to know Scott at the many Seders we had at Dorian's and Erin's home. He was a kind and gentle man, and a very fine lawyer. I always found him full of joy even when he was undergoing treatment, he never spoke ill of anyone, and he was a joy to be around. I will miss him.

I am saddened to hear about Scott. What a great guy. I am sorry for your loss.

We met Scott as cast parents of "America in Song and Verse". We had a wonderful time knowing him, but missed seeing him until a reunion last year. What a wonderful person, and what a loss.

I met Scott through a children's theater group when I was about 11 and he was 15 or 16. During a show celebrating our nation's bicentennial, Scott sang Elvis Presley's "You Ain't Nothing But a Hound Dog", wearing a leather jacket to Bobby-soxers. Like much of the cast, he became part of our extended family and was much-loved. He radiated a special kindness even then, particularly to an awkward preteen not talented enough to play with the cool kids.
