Condolence: Like many of Scott's friends, the ink was hardly dry on our birthday greetings when we heard of his untimely passing. I was glad to be able to attend the funeral with my old friend Ken Zeise. The service was beautiful and the church was packed with people, giving witness to how well respected and loved Scott was by all that met him. I had not seen Scott since 1997 but I will still miss him.
