On behalf of the University Michigan School of Education, I extend our deepest
sympathies to Scott's family, friends, and colleagues. His passion for teaching and for children brought him to our ELMAC program for a career change, and he began making a difference as soon as he arrived here. As a teacher at Burns Park Elementary, Scott was still highly engaged in partnership with the School of Education, supporting the development not only of his own students, but of U-M students and teaching interns as well. He was a caring and dedicated educator, and the positive impact he had on the lives of children will carry on his legacy. He will be greatly missed in the classroom and by the SOE community.

Scott was a phenomenal educator. He taught our daughter Beatrix in both second and third grade, and she and the other students adored him and learned so much. He will truly be missed, and always remembered with great affection by us all.
