Dear Susan and Devyn,
I just found out about Scott's passing away today - November 13th, 2010, and I am very shocked. Scott and I were engineers at GTE in Cincinnati 1995-1996 - even though we were colleagues for a year, we developed a friendship of a lifetime. Scott was an epitome of goodness - always kind, considerate, patient, funny, smart, and always smiling. We all met last in Orlando in 2001 at the Disney Animal Kingdom. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Scott will be missed but he will always be the shining light in our lives. Sincerely, Sandeep Krishnan ([email protected])

May I say that we have lost a Champion of a human being. Scott was my manager at Sprint for a short while in 2006-2007. Always relaxed and yet precise, quiet and yet verbose, knowledgable and yet giving others the time to say their silliness. Scott would debate war and peace and RF and Love with me as if we grew up together, so I am shocked to the core that he has gone. God love him and keep him glorious for our selfish sake.
