This is so devastating . I met Scott in 2009 , when he requested my assistance in tax preparation. He , and his wife Carmen have been my clients since that time . But more than that ... valued friends. I always always looked forward to preparing taxes with Scott. I made sure to leave lots of time open , so that Scott had all the time he needed to thoroughly prepare his rental data , but also to share his year . He told me great stories and I loved his laugh. He was so reliable and he adored his Carmen , his bicycle, his work , his home projects. I am upset beyond words because he was so special. Tax time will never be the
same . My condolences to the family .
I also lost my husband, unexpectedly, in my home a week before Scott passed away . Carmen and I now share this horrible experience . Sending light and love as best I can . I am so blessed to have known Scott for 15 years .

I met and knew Scott when I was with BAE. He was a valued friend and always took the time to say hello and interact with his typical friendly and professional demeanor. What a sad day for all of us that knew him. We're all blessed to have shared time knowing you. May you rest in eternal Peace Scott.

I worked with Scott for many years at Macom, and also at BAE Systems, he was such a happy guy always a gentleman. He would tell me about his cycling and the work he is doing on his home, from refinishing kitchen cabinet to buying staging to paint his home. He was so proud of his son and was happy that his son was a mechanic. He talked alot about his wife and her great cooking. Scott you will be missed. RIP Sheila Martin
