Loved seeing Scott’s big smile and friendly hello whenever he came to our oncology clinic. You knew he was in the office before you saw him. He shared his zest for life and the outdoors. And of course he was our “muffin man”. My sincere sympathy to Patty and family at the loss of such a wonderful soul.
