I just heard about Scott's death. My deepest condolences to his entire family. He was my quad mate in Hays Hall during my senior year at Oneonta. He was very supportive of me during my stint as an RA and was fond of calling me "Uncle Wally." He always brought a smile to my face and was generous in allowing me to use his car to get bread and peanut butter and jelly at Price Chopper to supplement the meager meals we had senior year on the new meal program. I was glad to read of all the good work he did as an attorney. May he reset in peace.

I extend my deepest condolences to Scott's family and friends. I will always remember Scott as a fierce child advocate when he was a member of the Lansingburgh Board of Education. May he rest in peace.
