I was a young french girl (19) when I shared the family´s life of Scott: Jean,Scott(10).Marshall(9).Kim(4)from June 1964,24th to Sept 8th.
It was one of the happiest summer of my life.
They all are in my heart for ever.
I feel so sorry for Scott´s children.
Much love to Marshall,Kim and (little)Scott.

As we think of Scott, we remember all the joy and fun he brought to the occasion.  A natural performer who loved the verbal joust! We came back East from California in 2017, and with Carolyn and Scott we shared food, drinks, and stories. Scott was a natural counter puncher for Jack´s quips and jokes! He (and we) enjoyed it all.

Scott was the champ, and we miss him.

Much love to Carolyn and Scott´s family, Jack and Anne (Vin) Fenn

Some years ago, I was looking for a new restaurant in the area to eat lunch before my 3-11 shift at Beth Israel-- criteria: spinach pie and Irish breakfast on the menu. I found the Coopertown Diner and settled in at the table farthest in the back. Turned out I had co-opted Scott's favorite table and continued for several days to arrive before he got there. After a day or two I sensed a tenseness and I invited him over to join me. Over the years we ate lunch together most days and he became a dear friend. That was back when he was volunteering as a guide for NYC tourists. When he became homebound, I would come by on Friday and we would order out from Coopertown Diner and share our adventures. Experiencing the few years of knowing Scott as I did, I offer my condolences at the loss of those who spent so much more of their lives in his company.

Thanksgiving Day, 2017
We enjoyed several visits with Scott, Carolyn and Kim over the years. Conversation never lagged when Scott was around; we enjoyed his stories of a life well lived. He is missed.

I can´t imagine a world without Scott.
I met him the first time 50 years ago, as a very nervous 17 year old meeting Marshall´s father for the first time. Scott´s natural charm, grace and humor put me at ease immediately and made me a lifelong fan. He was the best father-in-law I ever could have asked for.
Thank you so much, Scott.
You´ll be forever loved and missed.
