Thank you so much for sharing this sad news, Valerie. Scott was always so supportive and helpful, and became a friend outside of Bookshare for us as well. He will be sorely missed.

I apologize if someone posted and I missed it, but I just learned that Scott 
died on my birthday last week.  Not many people may know, but Scott was 
paralyzed during a life-saving surgery when he was (I think) 19.  Anyway, 
around 2 years ago he found out he had glioblastoma (a deadly brain cancer) and 
was given 4-6 months to live. He and his wife made the most of his time and 
Doug and I were even blessed to chat with him several times after his diagnosis.

Scott was a friend, a mentor and a voice for opportunity and I will miss the 
friend I met here on Bookshare...
