Please share your thoughts and memories of Scott as an opportunity to come together in shared appreciation of what Scott has meant to us.
Carol and Michael Eisenberg were close friends with Scott for more than 20 years. Read the eulogy they delivered at his memorial service.

I was born and raised in Seattle, so when I decided I wanted to go to library school in the early 90s, I of course considered the UW School of Librarianship, as it was then. For various reasons, I decided it probably wasn't the best fit for me, and I ended up at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, from 1992 to 1994. Our computer lab was run by Scott, and he made it one of the most advanced computer labs on campus.
A few years later, when I heard that Dean Eisenberg had hired Scott to run computer services for the new UW iSchool, I immediately thought that this was a great and important hire, and an indication of likely success for the future of the nascent iSchool.
Alas, I did not see Scott often when I ended up working in Odegaard library several years after, but it was always a treat when it happened. Our paths crossed several times over the past few decades -- and now I live not far from where he started in Syracuse, coincidentally.
I was very sorry to read about Scott's passing, in the most recent iNews issue. I won't forget him.
