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.
