I only knew Scott from a professional level. I had the privilege of working with him only on rare occasions. However, he was clearly an emotional leader at work. He always had a smile on his face and seemed to infect everyone around him with his joy. This is a truly rare ability that cannot be taught to someone. Scott was a great person to be around and I will miss getting to see him and have him brighten my day. My best wishes and deepest condolences to all his family members and friends.

I would like to express my sympathy to Scott's family. I knew Scott through The Terrace, where my mother was a resident. Scott was a very important member of The Terrace "family." He was always kind, cheerful, and helpful to all of the residents and their family members. He also did an excellent job of maintaining The Terrace and its grounds. A wonderful person, he will be sorely missed. Karen Miller (daughter of Dorothy Holt, former resident of The Terrace)
