I knew Scott, he and I used to do Tae Kwon Do together when I was in high school and I used to run into him at the Jewish center on high holidays. He was such a great, fun guy! I hadnt spoken to him in years but really liked him a lot. We even explored an MLM at one point together when I was in college. RIP Scott - my deepest sympathies to your family
