I will always remember Scott for the many wonderful gifts he brought to this world, including laughter, love, joy, accomplishment, and creativity. I hope his family and friends will be comforted by memories of him that will never die.
My condolence to great man and his family and much love and truly be missed
Herman and I had great times together talking about, acting on and carrying through on the development of rising Black and Brown leaders and professionals.  Over a number of years we would meet from time to time at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC where we had a small table to plot and plan.   We had several business opportunities with doing work together at FannieMae and with the Executive Leadership Council.  Our journey in time and life made me a better person by knowing Herman Scott as a friend, and the joy we shared in work and striving for promise in supporting others.   Thank you Herman Scott.  James 
Great friend and running pal! Cannot begin to tell you how much I will miss Herman!
What an incredibly devastating loss of my dear friend, boss, mentor, coach and confidante Herman Scott. We met over 50 years ago and remained connected off and on over those years up until just a few days before his untimely death. To Scott's family, friends and colleagues, we can be comforted in knowing that God has His loving arms wrapped around Scott and will keep him in His care.

I have so many stories to tell about my Uncle. I am his favorite niece.  We would talk for hours about everything and nothing. I remember several amazing times with him. Once I went to visit and we went to his favorite fired chicken place in D.C called Stan's.  It was like hanging out with a celebrity! Everyone knew him and had a story to tell me about him. We laughed and drank, ate some great wings and laughed more. We talked on the phone often about my next visit and going to Stans. We went to Obama's inauguration together and the next inauguration he opened his home to my mother-in-law and brother-in-law. One of my very good friends was in between homes and needed a place to crash for a few days. A few days turned into almost 2 months and he often asked about her. We toured the Smithsonian together with my boss and she always asked about him. He was well known and well loved. I will miss you dearly Uncle but I also know that now I have an incredible advocate in heaven for me. Rest in power Uncle. I love you more than words will ever say. 
My deepest sympathies for your loss
I was just getting to know Herman and found him to be inspiring and warm and had looked forward to the opportunity to work with him.
May your memories comfort you.

I miss my Beloved Brother in law so much just knowing that he's not a phone call away anymore. Herman was very loving, down to earth,  free spirited, genuine a Renaissance Man in his own words. I have been Blessed to have had the time to Live,  Laugh and Love out Loud with him and will always carry him in my Spirit.

Herman and TECHNOLOGY!!!!!  This site asks for a year, but this applies to EVERY year since I've met him (1994).   It was a constant source of HILARITY and teasing.  you could see his eyes roll at just the THOUGHT of a tech glitch.  OMG - the man was brilliant but THIS was his Achilles Heel!!!!!  We teased him unmercifully.  I know he's on the other side GLAD to be in a TECH FREE ZONE!!! 
Herman was a father figure for me. I could always count on him for the biggest hug, the largest laugh, the soundest advice. I actually have a voicemail from him from just a few weeks ago! I will keep it always so I’ll always have his booming voice to comfort me whenever I need it. He will be missed and cherished forever. 
I will miss him the rest of my life.  That BIG voice and LAUGH as well as the brilliant mind and kind heart.  HE WAS FABULOUS and  he left behind a family that contributes mightily to the world like he did.  What a cool legacy to remember him by.   Rest in peace my dear, dear friend.

July 4, 2020 Celebration in Lancaster, PA with Scott, Deneen, Kali and Josh.

It’s hard to bid good-bye to a dear friend. Time will heal the pangs of grief. Fond memories of a 50-plus year friendship help to ease the deep feeling of loss. Herman (or “Scott” as we referred to him) was ahead of his time. For those of us who migrated to New York, Scott gave us a reason to believe that a better life was possible for us in the Big Apple than was attainable in Dallas, TX. I moved to New York in ‘72 on a business venture, H’Rambi. This was Scott believing it was possible to get a group of dynamic, talented Black men and women together to promote each other’s respective talent and artistry. Many of us believed the dream. The business was not a success but the idea did not fail. It was bold and maybe too hip for the time. But we had fun. Scott influenced my career in Human Resources. He saw HR different from traditional Personnel. We felt it was possible to help people in organizations be all they could be. Though our paths were different, the love our career pursuit remained a bond between us. Scott loved his kids and was so very proud of the both of them. Each time we spoke, he was careful to fill me in on their many accomplishments. I was privileged by Glenda and Scott to become Kali’s godmother. So the bonds are deep. He was a good friend and I shall always treasure the good times and laughter we shared over the decades. Rest In Peace dear Scott. So long….
