Scott was so fun we used to go out dancing together. He was so funny I can take them to auditions are used to sing all the time we had so much fun. I´m gonna love him and miss him very much.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Scott's passing. I had the pleasure of working with him on "La Cage Aux Folles," and he was simply a delight to work with. In fact, one of my fondest memories of the show was in a scene towards the end of the show. I was playing ZaZa/Albin, but was masquerading as "Mother." At one part of "The Best of Times," I grabbed Scott and danced with him. It got a huge laugh, and he played it beautifully.



I regret that I will be unable to attend the services, but please be assured that my thoughts and prayers are with you, and him, at this time. He was a wonderful, bright light, and his memories will not dim.



Best Regards,

David Martinek
