Scott and I went through the Forest Industries MBA program at the University of Oregon. It was a pleasure working with him and knowing him, as he was a quality individual.
Several members of the Corporate Security Group have fond memories of working with Scott in the field. Others, including me, were fortunate to work along side of him or just spend time with him at headquarters. I felt I was representing our security group while attending his celebration this afternoon. On behalf of them, thank you Sandy and Scott's family for sharing him with us. He will be missed.

Here are some memorable Wood Products Lead Team photos:

Scotty was the the quintessential spark plug of our Lead Teams, both Timberlands and Wood products. Always upbeat and optimistic with high expectations of each of us and as a Team. Like a coxswain he set the pace and tone for opportunities to improve. He was an expert at using the hard questions and getting to the core of the matter.
Scott was everyone's friend. His personality was disarming and contagious. Scott was quick to see the best in people and to lend a hand to those in need or associates that might need a gentle nudge. He had a lasting impact on both Company and Industry leaders. Our friend Scotty will be sorely missed.

Over the last few weeks I have been reflecting on how lucky I was to work with Scott and call him a friend for over three decades. Scott taught me so much, not only his substantive knowledge of the business, but also about teamwork, friendship and leadership. He brought a sense of fun and a positive outlook to every task, along with genuine friendship and caring for all. He was tough and effective, of course, but I don’t remember him ever treating anyone poorly or without respect.
I could list many projects, many challenges and many fun times. One simple memory, however, keeps coming back. Many years ago Bob Dowdy and I were on the East Coast with Scott negotiating a transaction. Things were going poorly and I was getting upset, my frustration obviously showing. Without a word, Scott walked around the table and put a hand on my shoulder. That simple gesture was everything Scott: caring, teaching, and leading us away from an impasse and toward constructive dialogue.
Scott truly enriched all of our lives. We will miss him so.

Scott was a great boss and a good friend. We had a lot of fun in Russia. He was always thoughtful and understanding, but also such a creative and innovative thinker who could really get things done. He possessed phenomenal people skills reflected in his vast pool of friends and associates all over the world.
Natasha and I will miss him as a neighbor and friend. our sympathies go out especially to his family, but also to all those who loved him .
Scott was such a light and loving man. He was one of those people that seemed good at everything - family, work, philanthropy and who knows what else? I bet he could have mastered anything - tai chi, conversational Belarusian or advanced Lego building if he really wanted to! I loved our conversations at my dad and Kathey's Christmas parties the most because he was a model of good cheer, completely engaged and I always learned something. His wife is equally lovely, and my heart breaks for Sandy as well as Kathey, my dad and all my awesome step-sisters during this time.
My family and I are making a donation to Mary Bridge in Scott's name to continue his work with that fantastic foundation.
I worked with Scott at Weyerhaeuser and am extremely grateful for his kindness and for his generosity in sharing his knowledge. It isn’t often you encounter someone with such a strong blend of intelligence and kindness. Although he was very busy, he spent time showing me how to put financial models together and gave me an education as to the “why” behind the models. These are skills I still use today. To Scott’s family - my deepest condolences for your loss.
To Scott's family. I am so very sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Scott for several years on different projects at Weyerhaeuser. He was a pleasure to work with. I am sorry for your loss.
