He has paved the road that we can only follow. The standard has been set and we must follow his orders. We have all known this man who carried himself in a Christ-like fashion.

Dr. Scott was establishing a medical office in Oakland and needed assistance buying equipment and working capital until his practice produced cash flow. On a financial basis, he did not qualify. However, his passion, dedication and demeanor all told me, “I am going to be a great doctor and can repay that loan.” Over the next several months, he was as good as his word and before I was transferred to another location, he always stopped by my desk to chat, thank me for taking a chance on him and relating his happiness at helping his patients. I have followed his career in the newspapers in his fight against AIDs and am so sorry to hear of Dr. Scott’s passing. He will be greatly missed.

I can't seem to find the words to adequately describe what this man meant to me and the impact he had on the lives of so many here and abroad. I came to the bay area in 1998 and he was referred to me as primary care doctor. He became so much more than that to me over the years. A friend, mentor, and confidante. Like so many, one of my most memorable and life altering experiences was accompanying Dr. Scott to Zimbabwe. I will never forget the moment traveling down a unpaved dirt road into the Mother of Peace orphanage. Out of nowhere appeared hundreds and hundreds of people surrounding our vehicles. Chanting, dancing, singing, crying, and praising the man we knew as Dr.Scott. Obviously he had come to mean so much more to them. What I witnessed during my stay at the MOP orphanage was nothing short of a miracle on many levels. These memories will forever be with me. Thank you Dr. Scott for your love, support, and friendship over the years. I will miss you, Zimbabwe will miss you, the children at the Mother of Peace will most certainly miss you.

I'm a little overwhelmed. Dr. Scott was my doctor for many years. He was an amazing man and he helped so many people. He went beyond what I expected and gave me hope and opportunity. He will be missed by many who he touched and healed. Wow, I just saw this. I’m a little overwhelmed. Dr. Scott was my doctor for many years. He was an amazing man and he helped so many people.

As he was a doer for the common good both at home and abroad. I can just picture the sorrow of his children at the orphanage when the bitter news is leaked to them. And the emptiness felt by our Mother Jean. I can’t wrap my mind around the fact that this Soldier for Christ has been silenced and shut-down from “doing”.
