I knew Gregg as a young man and close friend of my son. He was a charming young man, very talented, a truly unique personality, one of a kind.

Greg and I shared many memorable hours together over the years, dinners and long discussions mixed with life's challenges and one of Greg's more passionate topics, politics. He graced our home on many occasions with his dear mother, Edrie for a visit or a meal. We reminisced, we talked and whenever Greg would write some new poetry, he would also be sure I got a copy. He was a dear friend who fought the good fight and we will miss him.

Gregory Gaar Scott, known to me as 'Gaar', was a warm, funny, red-haired man and a good friend. We met in a support group and again at NAMI and KEY Consumer conferences. What a character!
When I saw him at Christmas, he asked "do you know any good jokes?" The Parkinson's made him mumble but he was still Gaar inside. An artist, a poet and an active mental health advocate. TTYL, Gaar. Clare Skeehan
