1988, Belmont, MA, USA

Scott and some other friends had rented a house in Belmont, MA which quickly became The gathering place. Dinner parties - which seemed to happen several nights a week - were more like the salons of the enlightenment, speculating on what our future would look like and how to get there. I especially remember the dinner where Scott imagined giant computers that held libraries of movies and television that would be available for us to watch... yes, Scott invented Netflix in 1988.

Scott was one of the first people I met freshmen year and one of the warmest. Over the years, we shared many many forward looking discussions about changes in the world. He was a visionary, an optimist, a doer, and a friend.

Scott was my brother from another mother. We could talk for hours on many subjects and always solved all the world’s problems... In 8th grade (1975) he showed me the rift from “Smoke On the Water” and to this day every time I’m near any stringed instrument, I can’t stop myself from performing the lamest rendition of Deep Purple anyone’s ever heard. And Scott’s there and now he’s laughing.

In brief, I met my wife Helen through what some may call serendipity. Of course, we were out pitching a deal, at the time, Scott faithful helping me create I a vision of many years in digital asset management, albeit way before its time. At that meeting, in Sandy Plunket's loft in San Francisco, was Helen from Australia. One thing led to another, Helen and I and fell in love and become married in 2001. Scott was a constant part of our lives for many years to followScott was my best man at our wedding at the cascade wedding site in Oakland, a WPA project with a waterfall up the center in which we were married. Scott and I carried the flaming torches down the stairs. (will post later)There are too many other stories to recount at this moment but he is forever in our hearts, which we will share more later and tomorrow if you come to the memorial. We even had Harpo Marx's harp being played in the background - it was epicWe want to keep these fond memories with us forevermore.I do not know if he could hear me, but his sister michele held the phone to his head so I could say goodbye for which I will always be grateful for that moment. Send offs matter.Love and goodbye Scott.Bennett and helen

I just learned about Scott’s untimely death yesterday, close to two weeks after it occurred, and I see in the remarks already posted that so many friends of Scott have already filled in details about him and his life that project a very warm—and true—image of him.

I knew Scott mainly professionally. He wrote for magazines I edited and he was always someone with whom I could pick up, in mid-sentence, a conversation started months earlier at another gathering.

That does very little to explain why so many people, myself included, admired, liked, and loved Scott. We meet some people in life who represent what we ourselves could be as human beings, if we so chose, and something in our heart connects with them aspirationally. That is what I think is being said here, in so many different and beautiful ways. Scott was someone to whom we could all look up. He embodied what we would like to be, in our heart of hearts, as persons. We will all miss him.

What a loss. Always inspiring, fun and with a big heart. I have fond memories of a Nanotech Soiree at his flat and had a great (and successful) time working with Scott to set up the Accelrys Nanotech Consortium.

I knew Scott as he would crash in my condo when he was stranded in SF. He was intensely driven and passionate about innovation and changing the world. I will miss his smile, quirkiness, and commanding voice/presence. The world needs more people like him :)

Scottie you were the epic party guy. It was a great pleasure having you co-host 31 Breakaway Parties from 1994 - 2011. You brought a fun classy crowd of techies that added festivity to the event. You were also a brilliant serial entrepreneur, full of ideas for applying technology to make the world a better place.

If it weren't for Scott, the global organization EO and its predecessor ACE would not likely exist. Scott was one of the founders of the Harvard Entrepreneurs club. On his visit back to Wichita in 1983 we met and discussed the need for a global student entrepreneurs organization. Scott immediately kicked into gear, organized this fateful gathering of student entrepreneur leaders from Harvard, MIT, Babson, Dartmouth, etc. in the basement of a restaurant in Harvard Square, and then helped organize the first national ACE gathering on the campus of MIT in 1984...the rest is history. He was my wingman throughout that wonderful startup phase of what is now an organization supporting ten of thousands of entrepreneurs around the world. What an amazing giving person -- couldn't have done any of it without you Scott.

I am a classmate of Scott’s ~ We grew up in Mulvane together. Scott was always kind and generous with everyone he met. We enjoyed reconnecting every 5 years at our class reunions. We always picked right up where we had left off. Scott, you will be missed ~ you had the biggest most genuine smile, quick wit and kind heart. Rest easy my friend, Carlene (Howard) Mansfield

I met Scott in the late 80’s. He was an original, completely unlike anyone I had met before. He had a brilliant and curious mind and he introduced me to an ever-changing world of new ideas and that never ended. We stayed in touch through the years and there was always a new venture or idea that had him inspired and enthused and that I would get to learn about. He had a vision of what the world could be. He saw the possibilities of how social ills could be solved with a new technology or idea and the bringing together of the right people. He could be exasperating at times but all would be forgiven because that was Scott. He had a great and loving heart, he touched the lives of many. I am a better person for having had him in my life. He will be greatly missed.🌿

My most profound condolences to Scott's family and to all of his other friends. The thing I will most remember about Scott (from a friendship spanning 40 years) was his relentless, visionary optimism. I eventually figured out that if you wanted to know what was going to be important and cool in the not too distant future, look at what Scott was doing now. The world is poorer for his absence.

I met Scott back in 1991 when we launched peer group Entrepreneurs Organization in San Francisco. A dreamer, visionary and kind in approach. We connected recently 3 years ago and I was so appreciative of our work together the past 3 years to advance entrepreneurship and innovation. He was so excited in late 2019 to be able to go home for 7 weeks and remember chatting with him. Our last conversation 3.5 weeks ago was full of excitement on his new ventures. Lets continue on with his curiousity, dreamer, continuing to try and innovation and grow and kindness. Dean Lindal

My deepest condolences to Scott's family and friends. I've known Scott since the early 1990s. He and his business partner at the time Geoff Workman hosted my first digital art show in their new company Zelos and we stayed in touch over the years. He was always a very special and kind friend who took an interest in my art, most recently visiting my Open Studios last November. We always had great conversations and I loved the way he always thought big.. a true visionary. With love to his family, Jeremy

Scott was a great friend and colleague over many years as we tried to turn the early days of nanotechnology into opportunities. We shared good times and bad. We had many adventures together doing deals and on the road. He was my spiritual guide to San Francisco and the American Dream. I’ll miss him terribly.
