I enjoyed working with Scott at MRI Palm Bay over our years together until I retired in 2011. I knew the struggles he faced and I admired the strength he showed. Although we lost touch after I left MRI, I'm really happy that he endured as long as he did to spend time with family and friends. RIP Scott.
