Scott hired me, in 1981, when he was a manager at Amdahl Corporation in the Design Automation Department. If memory serves me right, he was employee number 79 at Amdahl (i.e., one of the earliest employees). I've never worked for a better manager... in fact, no other manager I've ever known has even come close.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701830156648993985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12214002.post-23443324554965382082010-05-22T18:45:36.872-04:002010-05-22T18:45:36.872-04:00I was out of touch with Apex community in general ...I was out of touch with Apex community in general due to the loss of my father around the same time in March...I cannot imagine how one's family and friends feel with the loss of a loved one...My deepest condolences to a great professional.<br /><br />We surely miss you dearly Scott...A great friend and contributor to Apex Community.<br /><br />Shravan<br /><b>Apexor Inc.</b>Shravan Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16292218206106946242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12214002.post-53021164701793225392010-04-21T09:04:11.319-04:002010-04-21T09:04:11.319-04:00Scott, you will be missed.

Scott was a great man. He did so much for our community and helped me in so many ways. He enjoyed correcting my spelling in my e-mails :). I will truly miss seeing Scott riding around the neighborhood on his bike with his dog Hazel. Hazel was his baby and she had just learned new tricks that Scott has taught her. He always contributed to my daughters school fund raisers and would buy Girl Scout cookies from us each year. I just spoke with him on Friday so this is such a sad day for us here in our little community. We will all miss Scott greatly. I don't know what we will do now without him as I can't imagine him not being at our Board meetings now. He had such a caring heart for our community. He was a great cook too!! Rest in Peace Scott. God bless his wife and family.
