I just learned of Scott's death. He delivered 2 of my children, helped my oldest daughter through a very difficult time. I knew him professionaly. He was a great person,
and friend. My prayers are with you and your family.

Last year at this time (March 2009) I asked the wonderful staff there at Dr. Scott's office how he was doing. At that time, he was doing well and I prayed that he continue to get only better each day. The year before, I had brought my camera in with me because I didn't have a photo of both he and I together (without me laying in a bed after having a baby). When it came time for me to call the office this past month to cancel my appt., I feared doing so, because my heart just knew that something terrible had happened. So, it was just yesterday that I knew of his passing (though I swear I could feel it in my soul for quite some time now). People like Dr. Scott leave such a wonderful impression of light in our lives, I hope to never lose the sensitive touch of his presence when such fond memories of him float within my mind from time to time. So now, some of you can appreciate how much I will treasure the photo taken of he and I there at his office 2 years earlier. My head on his shoulder and his arm around me...grinnin' that wonderful grin. We are all better people for knowing him, and luckier to have had him in our lives. God Bless you Dr. Scott (save me a seat up there)!!! My thoughts and prayers sent to the McIlroy family.

I feel awful just learning of Scott's death. I knew him at DePauw, as we were in the same fraternity, and I found him a calming and steady influence through what were often very turbulent times. He was bright, witty, caring and level-headed. He was exactly the sort of person one would want a loved one to be tended to. In fact, he was exactly the sort of person you would want EVERYONE to have had the chance to be counseled, treated and seen by. His passing leaves me saddened that he won't be around to do more good, but pleased for all the good he was able to do. Rest in peace my friend, Scott Decker, DePauw 72

I just leared of Dr. McIlroy's death. I am deeply saddened by his death. After moving to Ohio, I was referred to his practice by my mother in law. Pregnant in a new place, young and very scared, Dr. McIlroy helped me bring a beautiful daughter into the world. After being told I would never have children by other doctors, he gave me assurance that not only did I now have a beautiful daughter that I would also have as many more as I wanted. He was such an inspiration in the delivery room. After being there all night when the time came, he told me to wait while he put on his party shoes. I will never forget the man who delivered my first of three beautiful daughters. He made it a point to give me a big hug and a heart felt sympathy after the loss of my second pregnancy. It was thorough his kind and genorous ways that lead me to believe that I could go on and have more children. Thank you Dr. McIlroy for all the love and caring you put into your everyday! You have encouraged me to be a good OB/Gyn nurse in my own practice

Dear Mary,
I just opened the OSU College of Medicine Alumni Magazine and was pleased to note that you received the Alumni Achievement Award, and then I turned the page and was greatly saddened to read of Scott's death. Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences. God's grace to you and your family. Your classmate,

Dear Mary,
My wife, Janice, was Scott's patient a number of times, but as you well know, with Scott I felt like I was too! He brought us much joy and as we now live on the other side of the world in Estonia, it came as a saddening shock to learn of his death. I know that nothing anyone can share here will restore the joy and comfort of one who was certainly at least as warm and endearing at home as he was around his patients, but please accept our thanks for being the strength behind him. May you find solace and grace from your Heavenly Father to give you joy for sadness , comfort for loss, hope for emptiness.

I just found out today Nov. 4 about Dr. McIlroy's passing, I am at a loss for words. Dr. McIlroy blessed me with my two son's and I will never forget him! My husband even enjoyed delivery so that him and Dr. McIlroy could talk duck hunting. He will be greatly missed!

Dear McIlroy family, I just found out today about Scott's death. I was his patient for over 25 years and he delivered all 3 of my precious children. I drove from the Newark area to Grove City for my annual visits because Dr. McIlroy was such a fabulous doctor and friend. He always had a kind word, smile and friendly hug for me. My thoughts and prayers of comfort go out to you. The world will not be as special without him in it! With deepest sympathy, Staci Orsborn

Dear McIlroy family, I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. McIlroy. He was the best doctor I have ever met. Having my yearly exam with him was actually a joy. He not only delivered both my children but I had them enduced to make sure he would be the one to deliver them. He always greeted me with a smile and a hug. I could not have asked for a better doctor and advisor.

The world will be a emptier place without Dr. McIlroy. Love, love, love that man! I took both my daughters to him when it was time for their first appointment. Going in was the same: "I don't want a man gynocologist." Coming out was the same: "I love him!" What a genuinely nice person.

Dear McIlroy Family
I am so sad to hear about the passing of Dr. Scott. I just went in for my yearly checkup and my new doctor told me about Dr. Scott passing away. I am so sorry for your loss........I loved him deeply just as all of his patients did. He was my doctor for years, my mom's doctor for years, my 2 aunts doctors for years and we all thought the world of him. When he delivered my 2nd child, he got there just in time to catch her. I asked him what he had been doing and he was home reading the newspaper, he said he thought he had plenty of time......But he guessed he was wrong. It was a Tuesday almost 13 years ago. I was crushed when he told me he had to retire....I didn't know what I would do without him. He did one last procedure for me and then I had to leave him.....I went on to have a hysterectomy a year later and had to have a complete new doctor do the surgery. I called the office to let him know what had happened and he was so concerned that he told me to call his home when I knew what was going on. He was the most careing kind doctor and friend in the whole world. I prayed for him and now I will pray for his wonderful family to have the strength to carry on. With my deepest sympathy.

I am a former patient of Dr. McIlroy's (I moved to Pennsylvania four years ago). I am home in Columbus visiting and just found the sad news of his passing. I can't say anything more - or anything better - than what so many have already said. I do know this - someday when my 5-year old son asks me how we came to give him the middle name of "Scott", I will be honored to tell him the story. He decided to make his appearance 15 weeks early. So at 25 weeks, weighing 1 lb. 14 oz., we were amazed he was alive. The day after Dr. McIlroy delivered him, we were chatting with him about not having picked a middle name for our little guy yet. In his typical gentle- humored manner, he said "I think Scott sounds pretty good!" And that day I remember deciding on the middle name "Scott", in honor of the man who I firmly believe was the ONLY doctor who could have handled such a tricky and scary delivery. To the McIlroy family: the long hours and late-night phone calls couldn't have been easy over the years, so thank you for sharing such a special person with so many grateful patients and friends.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to your family. I absolutely LOVED Dr. McIllroy. He delivered four of my children. Always caring and concerned. He was a very sweet and generous man. He also had a great sense of humor. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure to meet him.

Dear McIlroy Family:
I was saddened to hear about Dr. McIlroy's passing. He was a tremendous man and a wonderful doctor. He delivered 2 of my younger siblings in addition to my own 2 children. Dr. McIlroy will always have a special place in my heart as he is the one who found a lump in my stepmoms breast and pulled many, many strings to get her to an oncologist the next day. As it turned out, she had a malignant tumor and fought a very brave battle. He was so very supportive and whenever I stopped in to his office, he would ask me how she was doing. He always had time to talk - about our mutual love of Hilton Head and our families. There was an obvious love for each of you. He was certainly one of a kind - as a doctor and a person. I will never forget him and feel blessed that he was the one who brought my children in to the world. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Kasi Loftis, Grove City Ohio

Dr. McIIroy was my dr. and surgeon for years, I'm honored to have known him. He always had a special way with people, whether it was his smile, or just the way he looked at you and listened, he truly was a special soul and will forever be remembered by all the lives he touched.

Mrs. McIlroy & family,
I was so saddened to hear about the death of Dr. McIlroy. After reading all of the entries into the guest book I am sure you can tell how great a gentleman & doctor he was. I had the good fortune of being his medical sales rep for many years & even set his GC practice up when he went out on his own. That office was one of the most fun offices to call on and I looked forward to see Dr & his staff every week. We will keep you all in our thoughts & prayers during this sad time but the memories of Dr Scott will live on forever. God bless you all & hold you in his hands!

Dr. McIlroy was my doctor for many, many years. I held out hope that he would get well and return to the practice. I hoped he would get well for his family, friends and patients because he meant so much to all of us, and he was a fighter. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.
July 24, 2009
Dear McIlroy Family,
I just found out yesterday of Dr. McIlroy's passing by having to stop at the office. He was a great man and after reading all of the guest book entries, I must say that we (his patients) all shared the same experiences when it came to our yearly visits. He always had a hug, a smile and a joke for everyone, every time. He delivered all three of my daughters and I am proud to say that I have and will always share my stories of Dr. McIlroy with them. He was a very caring, loving man whose bedside manner was always above and beyond. He always took care of his patients and made sure that we were doing well before and after a delivery or surgery. May God Bless you all in this time of sorrow and thank you for sharing your husband and father with all of us. He touched many, many lives.

Dear McIlroy family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of grief. Scott was my first OB/GYN and boy, you couldn't have asked for a better doctor to put you at ease and make every visit quite comical!! He delivered my first child in 2000. What an experience! He allowed my mom, dad, sister and husband to be a part of the delivery... against the nurses wishes, of course!! He was an amazing person! I was so sad when he told me of his diagnosis, but what a valiant fight he gave!! There is a special place in heaven for people like him and I am sure he is cracking all of them up!! God bless your family and know that he touched many of our lives and we will never forget him!

I have been a patient of Dr. McIlroy's for 30 years. I remember while he was deliverying one of my son's he had my husband call home for him to say he was going to be late. He proceeded to bring me cookies the next day and sat by my bedside and we talked. He was one of a kind. I will never find another doctor like him.
I was deeply saddened to hear about his health problems year's ago... and now by his passing. He will always be in my thoughts and prayers. And, I hope he will be looking down on each of us in his own way; making us laugh and encouraging us to appreciate life as we should be.
God bless you and your family, Dr. McIlroy. We'll miss you!

My deepest sympathy to your family in these tough times. On my last visit to the office with Dr McIlroy, we figured out that I was one of the first babies he delivered. Every time he saw me, he would put a hand on each shoulder, squeeze, and say "look what a good job I did!". That was just his way. He will be loved and missed!

We were fortunate to know the McIlroy clan when our daughters (Becca Wilson and Saray McIlroy) played soccer together from the Kiwanis league and through triumphant seasons at Jones. The McIlroy's opened their house up to a rowdy crowd of girls for season ending celebrations. I remember Scott laughing as the girls made a mad dash out to the golf course and back when they thought he wasn't looking. He was inside beaming with pride looking through the window and said that these girls will be leaders in high school and beyond. He was right. We had a team doctor AND a clairvoyant on our side! Thank you Scott for the memories. Matt, Linda, Becca, and Brian Wilson

I became a patient of Dr. McIlroy's when I was 19. He delivered all four of my children, attended baptisms, and even called me at home to make sure things were going well. He was so much more than a doctor and he is deeply missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Words cannot describe how heavy my heart feels today. Dr. McIlroy was my physician/friend, as well as the girls in his office, for the past 23 years. There is no one I've ever known like him, and there never will be. I always said that when/if something ever happened to him, there would be a million grieving women in the world. Please accept my sincere condolences. I'll never forget him, but I'll remember him with a smile.

Dear McIlroy family, please accept my condolences. I met Scott when he was first a resident at MCMC-I was a RN in L/D until we moved to Florida in 1988. We always looked forward to seeing him and esp. when he brought cookies to us. He was a great guy and I'm so sorry for your loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Dr. Mcllroy and his family. He has been my doctor since I was 17 and I just turned 39... I always enjoyed our conversations and laughter. He was the one person that could make you look forward to your yearly exam.. He would bring a smile to everyone's face just by entering the room. As I am sure you have heard many times over - he was more than a doctor - my husband and I both considered him a friend and he will be missed by so may people. I hope you find comfort in the fact that he was cherished by so many. If we can do anything for you please do not hesitate to call.

We are so sorry to learn of Scott's passing. What a wonderful, delightful, (1986-1992) next-door-neighbor he was! None who knew him can think of him without remembering his love of life-- family--friends--and his work. Remembering his stories still makes me laugh out loud. We all loved him and share in your sorrow.
Sincerely,

My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you. There is not a kinder, more gentle person than Dr. McIlroy. My wonderful son is alive and well today because of Dr. McIlroy. I will never forget him and I will forever miss him.
July 16, 2009
Although Dr. McIlroy did not deliver either of my children, he tended to me for over 24 years. As annual gyn appointments in general are, most women do not look forward to them. I did, as i always loved the conversations, stories, laughter and the tears we shared. What a special man. My heart and prayers go out to his family during this difficult time of adjustment. ~Andie Dunbar-Smith (West Jefferson,Ohio)

Dear McIlroy family,
Your loved one was my doctor for 30 years, and delivered two of my children. I have never had a doctor who cared as he did, and his love for his family inspired me to be a better wife and mother to mine. I have been praying for him for years, and will continue to pray for God to give you comfort and peace. He was a true blessing from God in my life.

Dr McIlroy was my OBGYN for over 25 years. When I think of him it warms my heart. He always had a smile, joke and a hug for everyone. I will never forget one special day in his office. My husband and I had tried for 20 years to have a child. I went in to his office for an appointment because I was "sick". He came in carrying a pregnancy test they had me take and he had the biggest smile ever. We cried together. He and his staff took such good care of me during my pregnancy. My husband and I have the most precious miracle son. I am so glad that we were in the hands of such a wonderful man. He is truly an Angel that has touched many lives. We all have been blessed to have known him.

I am so sorry for your loss. We all appreciated Dr Mac's sense of humor, and his gentle caring ways. He was an excellent doctor, and an incredibly caring person.

McILroy family- I met Dr. McILroy, when he was in practice with Dr. Lamprecht, many years ago. He helped deliver all four of my children, I stayed in his care for all the years I can remember, he was a fine man as well as a outstanding Doctor, I was saddened to learn of his health problem and retirement about three years ago. Just as I'm saddened to learn of his passing today. You have my deepest sympathy. He was truly a great and wonderful person as well as a fine Doctor.

During gallbladder surgery in 1981, it was surprisingly learned that a gynecologist needed to be called in to finish the surgery. Dr. McIlroy was who they called. I had never met him before. When he later came to visit me when I was back in my hospital room, he said he wasn't trying to drum up business, but if I came to him for my post-op 6 weeks check up, it would be free and how could I pass that up. It hurt so much to laugh, but I couldn't help laughing. We laughed often over the next 25 years as his patient. He was one of a kind and I will miss him.

You will be sadly missed by your patients and those who knew you. You were always exhuberant and full of life and laughter when you entered a patient's room making them feel comfortable and at ease. You will be sadly missed and I know God has a special place in heaven for you. Take it easy on them and not too many jokes at one time.

I am so sorry for your loss. Doc Mac delivered my first baby in 1982. He told me then that my baby was the 2nd prettiest baby he had ever seen, he pulled out his wallet to show me the first. I've been with him ever since. He helped through a lot, I loved him dearly.
July 15, 2009
To the McIlroy Family~
I first met Dr McIlroy as a young, impressionable nursing student at Mt Carmel in the late 1970's. I was scrubbed in for the OR and very nervous that morning, as I was to function as the "scrub nurse" for a surgeon with a reputation for being very tough and gruff. Dr McIlroy was the surgical resident in the OR that day, and became keenly aware of my fear and hesitation in this clinical arena. He encouraged and supported me during the entire case using humor and kind words, making the experience less frightening. He also took opportune moments to teach me about what was going on during this particular patient's surgery. I will never forget his kindnesses to me, and his ability to turn a very intimidating situation into a positive learning experience for a young student. We talk about "teachable moments" - and this was certainly a prime example of one. As it happened, I fell in love with the OR and subsequently worked there, after graduating from nursing school.
I know in my heart this was the way Dr McIlroy practiced medicine every day of his life. And I wanted to share with you the impact he made on me and my nursing career. I know he is sadly missed, and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Dr. Mcllroy was certainly a light on this earth! He helped me work through my own breast and cervical cancer. He was a man of strength, passion, a true man of honor. There is a special place in Heaven awaiting him...... "You are my hero, Dr. McIllroy and you will never be forgotten."

Scott is remembered as one who gave a thousand times more than he received in life. He exuded a sense of security and comfort with genuine empathy to all who were his patients and friends.
Besides his wonderful family, I recall his most notable pride was in baking delicious chocolate chip cookies and hitting a long drive on the golf course. Scott would rather out drive his team mates than get a hole in one or shoot sub par.
He made the world a better place for all who were blessed to have made his acquaintance.

Mary, David, Andrew and Sarah -
It seems like just yesterday that I visited your home to get to know David a little better while he was at Barrington. You would be surprised at how often stories of David and Andrew come into my discussions. What a great reflection of their father they have become, and will continue to be as they grow their own families. I know you children miss him already - but just look at each other - he is still there in you. Andrew - the next time you hit a golf shot that seems destined for trouble and ends up OK - well, I think dad will still be on the course with you and enjoying all of it. And dear David - as my teaching career comes to a close, you are still the brightest shining star that crossed my horizon. Thanks to your parents for sharing you with me for a little while. God's blessings to you all. Mr. Richards

Dear McIlroy Family: My heart goes out to you all. I was a patient of his for 25+ years. When our company insurance was changed and Dr McIlroy was not on the "prefered" list in the early stages, I elected to pay the extra money to continue to be his patient. He was that important and special to me. I will miss him tremendously. He put up the good fight and he is now in heaven doing more good work. Sally Binegar

I am so very saddened to hear of the loss of your dear husband, father, son, family, confidant and our Dr.Mac, our dear, dear friend. I have been a patient for 25 years. He deliverd 3 of my 4 children and saw me through some very hard times with his wisdom, amazing counsil and friendship. He was the most unusual doctor in that he cared and knew me to the level of my heart;he just knew what to say. As a friend who also shared him as a doctor put it, he was 'Jesus in skin'. I believe the Lord used him many times to touch us all. I feel priviledged and proud to have known him as my physician and friend. I will miss him in this life. May you be comforted to know that he touched many lives with his caring touch and smiling face. Thank you for sharing this wonderful man with us; we loved him!

Dr.Mcilroy not only bought my kids into this world but literally saved my life!
I had severe post-partum depression and he picked up on it before it was really being talked about.
I will never forget his kindness, caring, and his humor!

As Quoted by Erma Bombeck "When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me."
Dr. McIllroy certainly used every piece of his talents that God gave him. I was a patient of Dr. McIllroys for over 20 years. He brought humor and compassion to each visit and put his patients at ease.
He spoke upon each visit of his family and how important they were to him. I remember when I was pregrant with my last child that he too was becomeing a father again back in 1988 and how joyful he was.
Dr. McIllroy may be gone but he leaves a legacy to many families and a gift of being a wonderful doctor to all his patients and their children.

Dr McIlroy was the best and most caring doctor I have ever had. I was never scared when he was there. He did numerous surgeries, delivered all 3 of my children and was a smiling face on a rainy day. He gave the best hugs. I am so sorry for your loss. My life is better for having known him. I will miss him very much.

Dr. McIlroy brought most of our children in this world and I have to say, not may people look forward to their ob/gyn office visit. I did, I loved hearing his laugh and seeing his smile. It always made me stop and be thankful for the day. I am truly sorry for your loss and I will pray for you and your family.

God bless Mary, David, Andrew, and Sarah as you all travle through those days and nights. He truly will live in your heart and many others. Thank you for sharing your husband, and your father with the time that he spent away from his family after countless deliveries and surgeries. You all are in my prayers.

Dr. McIlroy was more than my OB. He was a friend, someone who cared for you as a person. I could talk to him from day one like he was
a girlfriend. He checked on me when I was going through breast problems.......he just CARED. I will NEVER find another Dr. McIlroy

I am also among the many patients of Dr. McIIroy. He was the most amazing doctor ever. He always made me laugh with funny jokes, he was kind, caring and always had a listening ear. Dr. McIIroy took care of me and my mother and we will never find another to fill his shoes. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family. Heaven now has a amazing angel.

To the family of Dr. Scott
Dr. Scott was a wonderful man, he knew just what to do to make you feel at ease, not only did he help me through some tuff times; he took my daughter under his wing when she felt uncomfortable with the other doctors in the office. His humor and gentleness will be greatly missed.
May you find peace in the days ahead knowing that he full filled his destiny on earth and will be forever a guardian angle keeping his family safe and strong under his wings.

Dr McIlroy was my doctor for over 20 years. He delivered 2 of 3 of my children. He was so much more than a doctor he was a great friend. He reminded me of my own father. He was there for me when I went thru breast cancer and there for me to deliver my daughter after cancer. He always greeted me with a big hug. He truly cared! He will sadly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Scott McIlroy family. I was a patient of Dr. McIlroy for the past 10 years or more and thought the very best of him. The last time I was in his office he was low from the treatment and I ask him if I could pray for him. He gladly accepted that offer and I prayed for him there and felt the LORD JESUS touch him and he felt it also. I put his name on the prayer list at church (Calvary Apostolic Church) and we have prayed for him every Sunday for the past year. I have ask angels to come to your home and comfort him. We don't understand why many things happen but please believe we are praying for all of you.
Love & prayers,

Mackey was my doctor and friend for the past 27 years. He delivered my 3 sons. If it weren't for him I would have lost my first born. I looked forward to my visits to him. He was an amazing Doctor and friend. I will miss his wonderful hugs, smile and encouraging spirit. Thank you to his family for allowing us to have a part of him.
