Scott: I will miss your sense of humor and your stories you told. My favorite line, "sedate till we intubate". I won't see you here or there, but I'll see you in the air my friend!. Loved working with you at B. North!

Scott, you'll be missed. You had me when you dictated a chart on a guy attacked by his imported monkey. I'm not sure I've ever laughed that hard. It was a pleasure working with you and learning from you.

I worked with Scott for many years, and was always amazed by his skill as a physician and his humanity when dealing with individuals. He had great sense of humor, and like most ED staff, a great ability to find a reason to laugh at almost anything. I'm thankful for having known and worked with him, and will miss him very much.

While I haven't seen Scott or Jim in much too long a time, I can understand the emotions that Marc Dietz has expressed, even though I can't have that same amount of emotion. Scott was always a pleasure to be around. All of the Essells and Edders have my sympathies and I'm sorry I can't be there in person to express them to you. I will keep everyone in my prayers. God bless you all in your time of grief.

Scott's life was a model of true determination: he felt there was no goal that was beyond his reach, and he wouldn't stop trying until he had achieved that goal. He was truly an amazing guy, and this world is poorer now for not having him in it. Vaya con Dios, mi amigo.

I knew Scott, Jim, and, his wife Melissa in high school. What a wonderful family! It saddens me to see to that he has lost his battle with cancer when he so bravely gave hope to others during their struggles. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Marigo Psillas Ruch (Cincinnati)

I have lost my best friend since kindergarten. Scott and I walked a lot of the same ground together since 1961. Scott was always there for me. I will really miss him.
