Fellow GRM member Scott (known here as pigeon) has passed away. Details I have are that he was on a trip to London with his family and became quite ill. His plane home was actually rerouted in order to get him to a hospital more quickly, but I believe he died within 24 hours of reaching the US shore.
Scott was very helpful and a genuinely nice guy. My heart goes out for his family, as this was certainly unexpected. Scott was 42.
Sad. Best of luck and prayers to his family.

What Joey said. He will certainly be missed.

Thanks for letting us know. This is very sad. I just re-read his post on the "What do you do, and how did you end up there?" thread since I remembered him posting there and he does sound like a great guy. Sail on, Scott.
So sad. Prayers to his loved ones.
