I am with you on this, Jim.

I get such a pang when I come across one of Scotts videos on Youtube.
-
I am very sorry to hear this...R.I.P...
-
It’s been a year already! I’ve been missing Scott’s threads as well as our long competition going after rare German engines.

Hi Jeff, Thank you very much for weighing in here.

Thanks to everyone for the very kind remarks for Scott. He was my brother. It's still hard to believe he's still not with us.
I know he really enjoyed model steam engines (sorry if I'm not calling them correctly). I actually remember as kids, him having one. Many years passed where he didn't have one, but then he got back into the hobby a decade or two ago. He had a number of engines in his dining room, and proudly displayed them. I could certainly see the interest and fascination with them.
Whatever led up to his passing, he apparently started selling off his collection in preparation. I did not find out about that until he left.
Thank you again for all the wonderful comments. Yes indeed: the loss of a True Gentleman.

Sorry to hear of Scott's passing. While I didn't know him well, We did correspond over an engine sale once, And I still enjoy his Video's. RIP fellow Steamer.

Very sad news indeed! Scott was a true gentleman and made my dream of owning a Jensen 50 come true. For that, I will never forget him. RIP Scott.
Scott made a lot of our dreams come true, I have 3 wonderful German engines from him that I likely wouldn’t have had the chance to own had it not been for him... Best of all they came ready to run as his engines were well maintained. Even a short week before we lost him, he was still helping forum members out.

So absolutely surprised and utterly saddened by this news....
Rest in peace my friend, you will be greatly missed :'(

Thanks for posting that video Charlie, was great to see Scott at the 2 minute mark. One of my biggest road trip dreams was a trip to Texas to visit you and Scott. Unfortunately this never happened.

Sad news, he will be missed. Condolences to his family.

My only fellow Texas Steam Collector.
I am completely devastated and paralyzed.
We had such a great visit one year ago with him and Stacy 12 months ago.
Deep Prayers for his family. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Brent, I'm just speechless at this terrible news.
Scott was a true gentleman of the hobby, I'm so terribly sorry for Scott, his family and all his friends.
Rest in Peace Scott, you were a man of refinement and a true ambassador of the hobby and will be missed greatly.

Just received the word on this in a phone call from Gil.
It will be very hard to find any understanding in this. Scott was so alive in every way that I could discern, and I felt close to him, even without really knowing him. Certainly he helped us all in so many ways that extended far beyond the hobby and Forum.
My heartfelt condolences, prayers and best thoughts go out to his family and all of his friends.
Devastated, somehow does seem to be the correct word just now.

Scott helped me out a lot and was very good to me, he will be missed. We lost one of the greatest guys in the hobby.
-
I am very devastated and confused reading this message. RIP Scott; the world of professional steam collectors lost a dedicated and avid collector that will be missed greatly. My prayers and condolences to his family & friends.

Well said Gil. Scott has been my closest friend in this hobby and it’s going to be very difficult to get along without our (nearly) daily exchanges of emails and phone calls. I know he was close to many of you as well. For his wife, children and grandchildren it is an unimaginable loss. There is a very brief online obituary where you can send your sympathies to the family at: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/sugar-land-tx/scott-rouze-10041537.
I probably don’t need to say this, but the family needs time to grieve and not be bothered, so please be sensitive and refrain from contacting them regarding Scott’s collection, etc. Again, very sorry to hear this very sad news. Rest in Peace Scott.

It is with the most profound sadness that I share the loss of a great friend of mine, a great friend to our hobby and to all whose lives he touched.
He was born June 5, 1960 and passed on February 3, 2021. I feel blessed to have known him for a far too short several years. He was one of the finest human beings I have had the privilege to know. He was a truly good man. There is no further information available at this time.
With much sorrow and many tears,
Gil
Note: Please don't approach his family about his engines. They will let us know when the time is right.
