Scott and I were good friends through High School then I moved to California. But once every 10 years or so we would briefly touch base. I was saddened to hear of his passing. Scott really was a very kind person and I was honored to have him as my friend. Our heart goes out to Becky and all the Marks family.

This is very sad news about Scott.I knew Scott a while back when we played tennis in Lilburn at Hanary West and remember him as a very good player but more than that, a good Sport. I moved to Florida in 1998 and the last time I played ALTA tennis Scott called me in Florida to play a match with him if I could come since I was still an ALTA member. I did and will never forget Scott and how great a young Man he was.

I am deeply saddened by Scott's death. His spirit at Turner Studios will be sorely missed. He had a certain charm and warmness that made one feel like they were family. No matter how busy or hectic it was, if bumping into him, you'd walked away feeling part of something big. I personally will miss seeing him in the halls of Turner Studios.

As Josh will attest, we were "family" at Ch. 17 with our 35 to 40 employees and we all mourn along with the family the lost of one of ours. Scottie will be missed, he was truly one of the good guys. My prayers and heartfelt condolences go out to the Marks family. God Bless You.
