My condolences to Scott´s family.
I just stumbled across his obituary. I was in a recent auto accident and looked Scott up to see if he was still practicing. Scott was an amazing person and chiropractor. I am forever grateful for the care and rehabilitation that he provided me. The world needs more healers like Scott. God Bless

There was a reason we all called him "The Fonz" back in High School,
He was and always will be one cool cat.
So sorry for your loss!
