Scott’s oldest niece, Greta (17), is raising money to name a cancer research grant after him:

“In 2019, My uncle Scott was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. He was such a generous and compassionate man, and he used his abundance of talents in ways that brought so much joy to my family and all of those who had the privilege to know him…
I encourage you to join me in supporting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by making a donation to my fundraising campaign. By donating to LLS, you support the many facets of LLS’s mission work from investing in groundbreaking research, providing education and support to patients, and advocating at the state and federal level for legislation to help those living with cancer.”
