I woke up this morning, 10/1, and immediately thought of Scott and randomly google searched him to find this. Scott and I were briefly acquainted last year but lost touch over some differences. Despite that; the one thing I came here to say is a message to his children that he absolutely loved and adored you both. Your father was an absolute silly guy, and I know he made you both laugh. Molly, Coltrane- you two are phenomenal kids. I hope you keep the charismatic personality in your heart, that your father had, forever. He really was one of a kind.

I just heard this news today 8/28/23. I am deeply saddened to hear of the loss of such an incredible human being. Scott was an exceptionally talented dear friend. We met at my open mics back in the early 2000´s, and he brought music, creativity, humor, and joy with him everywhere he went. He will be greatly missed. The last time I saw him about a year ago, he spoke of his all encompassing fierce love for his children and how proud he was of them. He was a wonderful person. God rest your soul Scott. Fly to the angels my dear friend. Wishing peace and strength to your family.

Dear Scott,
I have been racking my brain trying to come up with a specific instance(s) of ways you have impacted my life... However, strangely, I can´t think of just one. I think of a total. I think of a total human being whom impacted my life by just being kind. You/ your spirit are goodness in the best form. Thank you, Scott, for everything. Thank you for being you. Wishing your family and loved ones peace and joy, in that Scott was one of the rarest and most special joy that we might inspire to be. All my love. - Marnie Klar

I have such fond memories of going to elementary school with Scott and then keeping up with him as we both got older. The world has lost an incredibly bright and talented guy. I´m so sorry that he is no longer with us.

Thinking of you all during this time. I have wonderful childhood memories of Scott and I as neighbors on Ryder Cup, being in school together from elementary to KHS graduation, bike rides to the Larkspur pool (he always made it a race and won most days), and carpooling to Sunday School at Temple Israel together. Scott was a talented and kind soul. Sending hugs to his entire family and all of those who loved him.

Love,
Dara Bazar Tucker
