For as long as I can remember (1982), Scott has been a constant presence in your life; a love that lasted over 40 years. My condolences to you on this tremendous loss.
My brother jeff was a close friend of scott and so scott hosted me at his home in san francisco back in 1977 when i visited the area for a couple of days. He was a sweet person and took me sightseeing and hiking and i enjoyed his company. One of his favorite records at that time was late for the sky by jackson browne and we listened to it many times over the 2 days, so i also became a fan. He knew my family well and was there to offer condolences when i lost each of my parents and my brother and always sent me birthday wishes through facebook. Rest in peace im glad you found happiness in florida in your later years
Sincerest condolences to Karen and family
Good bye old friend, rest in peace

One Christmas dinner stands out in my memory, when my uncle and I ended up talking about The Beatles. It was a simple moment, but there was something warm in it that I’ve held onto over the years. I mentioned I liked the Beatles and his eyes just lit up. I’ll always remember that connection, and I hope he is at peace.
I started working for Scott 20 years ago... I was 17 at the time, and my life at the time was full of more downs than ups. Scott was one of those guys that you could always talk to. He never disguised his words. He told you what you needed to hear, not what you wanted to hear.
Most of my music taste to this day was sculpted by Scott. On Sundays at Marpat we would listed to JackFM and he was always able to tell you something interesting about the song or artist playing.
I'll be honest, some of the best years of my life were spent pissing him off, but I was always proud to share anything I ever achieved with him. And it always made me happy knowing it genuinely made him happy.
Scott, you'll always be a legend and thank you for the amazing memories. You literally made me the best person I could be. Im a proud father of three now staring down the barrel of retirement and I have you to thank because you always made me and everyone want to succeed. I know you weren't particularly religious, but I imagine heaven for you would be a lot like a zoo. Watching the animals where they're supposed to be, happy and free. I truly hope that's where you are because that's where you deserve. Rest in peace Scotty Rock. And thank you for everything.
I am Scott’s brother-in-law. We spent a lot of time with Karen and Scott in Park Slope, Kew Gardens and Floral Park, Long Island. We have many good memories of being with them during the holidays and missed them when they moved to Florida.
Scott and Karen both loved animals and I always enjoyed seeing them with their sweet dogs, cats and lovely birds.
Once when I was in Queens, I stopped in to Scott’s liquor store just to say hello and he was so happy to see me that it left a lasting memory! He was glad to show me around his business and I was happy he was my brother-in-law! I hope to see you again, Scott, on the other side.
Love,
John
I knew Scott my whole life, then had the opportunity to work for him many many years ago. Scott taught me alot about the liquor business. There are so many memories with Scott I can definitely fill up quite a few of these. Scott made me laugh was one of my mentors, and always said what was on his mind. I graduated high school and he signed my yearbook as simple as ever he drew an arrow to Martha Stewart and said marry the rich b**ch. Scott & Dave were there for me when I lost my Mother and supported me my entire career in the alcohol space. 25 years later im still doing it. Thanks to the mentorship and teachings. He definitely loved scotch and cigars. The last Funny story I have with Scott was we are at the store and I was doing electrical work and Scott forgot to turn the power off while I was making my connections and he yelled oh shit I forgot to turn off the power you almost got fried. We had a good laugh. I will truly miss him
Also if you booze traveler season 3 episode 3 at about the 18 minute mark you will see Scott and his friends, and I will have that episode forever to watch.
I knew Scott since Junior high. We were friends in Queens, Marin County Ca, and Delray Fl.He was a very loving caring person. He was generous and would always let me come to his Marin home without calling. When I was living in my VW camper, he would let us come over and shower anytime I once went for a trip meant for a month and stayed away for 8 months. He said it would be fine to leave our car in his garage and it stayed there for 8 months. Never a complaint. We also shared a home with others in Point Reyes and he others in house had had a band together. We would often visit when he still lived in NY and we would travel to places in S. Fl when he visited his parents.I probably would not have gone if he did call me and say let's go to Miami for boat ride, lets go to other places.The very unusual thing happened when I was a mail carrier and new resident, Trager family moved in, That was funny when I spoke to his dad and we both realized Scott was there son. He loved his music We would go see them in San francisco when was playing new wave music..Whenever i would visit NY we would have fun. When he moved to Fl we would visit often.I have so many more memoriies. i hope these are in some sort of orderly fashion. Karen we are so sorry for loss.Love larry
