So sorry to hear of Scott's passing, My heartfelt condolences to Barbara and his children who he spoke of often. I will miss our many meetings, lunches and coffees together and talks on the phone and emails. We talked of many things but mostly I was impressed with his intelligence and quick mind. He was real gentleman.

My deep condolences to Scott's entire family and the extended Broadband Cimmunities family. Scott was not only an industry leader and visionary, he was most of all a great man and a great friend. One of my proudest moments of my career is when Scott ask me to be Vice-Chair of Briadband Communities. I have and will continue to miss his great smile, joy and loving nature. He truly cared about others. Travel at the speed of light my friend, you are missed but never forgotten.
