Sorry for the brief post but this is from my phone. I just wanted to get the news out quickly.
This is a great loss. I’ve been impressed with Scott ever since watching him lead the 46th District Democrats’ monthly meetings way back when. He will be missed. I feel for his young family.
I agree, Nancy. He will be missed by us all.

His family also suggests you can make a donation in his memory to EarthCorps. EarthCorps had been planning to surprise Scott by presenting him with its highest award, the Cynthia Sullivan Award, at its annual auction Saturday, to recognize the critical role that Scott played in EarthCorps’ success.
