I'm half way around the world remembering our conversations from when I was in Buffalo. Just want you to know that I'm making it happen buddy. Love You, John Date: Mon 08/22/05 11:26AM From: David Lambert Email: dlambert@uga.edu Message: I knew Scott through high school in Virginia (Madison HS, class of '94.) He was a great person and a fantastic trombonist. He will be missed greatly. Date: Sun 07/31/05 11:54PM From: Jim Nova Email: jimnova@earthlink.net Message: I just read the ITA tribute to Scott. It really was very touching and moving. I had to choke back my tears. What Robin wrote struck me most of all. Especially considering I knew them before and after they met each other. He was such a great friend, player, colleague and just all around person. The kind of person I wanted to someday work with on a daily basis. My times with him in the United Brass Ensemble are some of my most cherished memories, both playing and in commeraderie. He was a wonerful influence on all of us and he's sorely missed.

I have thought of you a lot today and will tomorrow as well. You will never be replaced. A new person will be appointed to sit in YOUR seat. Forever your friend and colleague, Dan.

I wish to express my sympathies to his family!

I identified completely with all that was said, even though I probably didn't know Scott nearly as closely as some of his other life-long friends. I guess that demonstrates just how deeply Scott's personality and character impacted all of those with whom he met. Scott was enthusiastically positive, talented, so interested in all that life has to offer, faithful, funny, and incredibly loving to his wife, his friends, his family, his co-workers, his church family, etc. I really feel very blessed that I had the chance to be Scott's friend and share in the warmth of all that he encompassed. I recently realized that Scott created a "culture of hugging" within our Generation X group at the First Presbyterian Church of Buffalo. He was very accepting of people and I think he just felt like expressing himself, so he'd offer great bear hugs fairly regularly. Recently attending a Generation X meeting, I find that we all greet one another with a hug and we always say goodbye to one another with a hug. I guess it sounds a bit cheesy, but truly, you have to admit that you always feel a bit better about life, with all of it's ups and downs, after a hug from a friend. I miss you, Scott, my friend. And Robin, please know how much we all love you. You and Scott are never far from my thoughts.

You've made the world brighter. I can't think of any better legacy.

But, I feel your love coming through your family and friends and all of the people that you touched. You created this powerful energy when you were alive and it is still growing. It holds me up. I know that the best way to celebrate and honor you is finding moments of joy and reasons to laugh, and sharing them with loving people. And I know you would be proud of me. merry christmas your wife Date: Sat 12/25/04 8:44PM From: John Graham Email: yuehan1@hotmail.com Message: Merry Christmas buddy. I will always remember last December, the tree decorating party that of course involved too much fine scotch! Remember combining our gig paychecks to buy a bottle of Macallan? Kindred spirits. I miss you my friend. Love, John Date: Sat 12/25/04 6:22PM From: Kate Holzemer Email: kholzemer@msn.com Message: Dear Scott, We all miss you so much- especially over the holidays. I thought of you today as I added more and more butter to the Christmas mashed potatoes. You have left a precious and joyful imprint on my life. Love, Kate Date: Wed 12/15/04 5:42PM From: Sarah (Altholz) Kamstra Email: sarahaltholz@hotmail.com Message: I found this page while searching the internet for old friends. I knew Scott only briefly - we attended the National High School Music Institute together in the summer of 1992 and played in the brass choir together. Although I only knew him for those 5 weeks, I found him to be an amazing trombone player and person. From all the tributes on this page, it is obvious he is deeply missed.
