I had been keeping up on Scott fight on FB but then that page was discontinued...
Although I moved on from Manulife in 2015, I kept in touch with the work fam and so I heard immediately of Scott's passing. I felt an immediate sadness, but then inspiration for his fight for his LiFe. And then more smiles and positive feelings as I recollected our various interactions --- what a personality!!! Nicely captured in this very well written Obit...
Once at work, he made a great attempt to stop smoking so he told me of his plans and gave me all his cigarettes (tons in a huge ziplock bag to store away). Also told me to keep his usual smoking buddies away from him that would come by to go for a smoke. I met with all those smoking buddies and warned them off.
He did a great job...and it lasted quite a while. He displayed several memorable behaviours during the time that entertained us all.
And then there was the time I forgot my utensils for my home cooked lunch and asked over the cubicles if anyone had a plastic fork. Scott's response: "pre-licked or not"?
And we all recalled when he got "huge" during his workout stint at the gym...
And his interaction with our mutual coworker and friend:
"That is a really nice shirt Garth..."
Garth beaming with pleasure; "Thanks Scott"
Scott "Do they sell them in Men's sizes"?
Scott had a big heart and he touched a lot of lives and I remember him very fondly. I miss him...
So glad I got a chance to experience his diverse personality which led to his various explorations --- he indeed led an interesting LiFe and those of us who knew him well, was lucky as we got to live vicariously through some of his experiences.
I connected with Scott on many levels and he left a good mark on me... and I apply some of his spirit and zest in some of my doings...
Through our interaction I also knew;
...Scott loved Kendra intensely...
...Meades Productions and Artist Mgmt, the Tattoo Parlor experiences...
...Scott knew his job...
...His Weimaraner...
...The big dude he was surprisingly able to, because he had to, pound the lights out of because he hurt that animal.
Condolences to Family and Friends...I will remember Scott with a smile.
Always.
