So sorry for the loss to your family. Scott, as we knew him, was involved with the UU Society in Albany for many years. He was unfailingly smiling, cheerful to those he met, just a fine guy to hang with. His piano skills were terrific. But I remember him too for a bit of generosity he directed our way. The son of a neighbor, a teenager named Theo Hill, was also a piano player, and we approached Scott about helping us set up a benefit concert in the church Sanctuary, for Theo to play the Steinway grand for an audience from the community. He walked us through the process, mentored Theo for the concert, and it was a lovely time. Theo got to perform in front of a new audience. He has gone on to major in Jazz Performance at SUNY Purchase, join the jazz scene in NY City, cut several CD/Albums, perform internationally in Asia, Turkey, Europe, and now lives in Costa Rica. I am sure that Scott contributed to this wonderful success story, and am sure there are many others over the years. The photo accompanying his obituary is exactly how I remember him, smiling and open to some enjoyment. Meg and Paul, our thoughts are with you, know that Scott is well remembered.
