My best friend and partner in life died two days after his 50th birthday on Feb. 3, 2013, after a nearly two-year battle with glioblastoma multiforme IV, an aggressive and always terminal form of brain cancer. This photograph encapsulates his insatiable spirit and love of life. Just five months after his diagnosis, craniotomy and debilitating chemotherapy and radiation regimen, he rejoined his running club for the annual Red Dress Relay for a local charity, Via of the Lehigh Valley (Pa.). As a father, a teacher, an artist, a husband and a friend, Scott's exuberant enthusiasm, the irreverent, the bold, the spontaneous and the unlikely inspired us all to find more joy in life. He sure did relish any opportunity to run in that red cocktail dress! I have had the dress dry cleaned and have put it away so that perhaps one day our daughter will find an occasion to wear it. That would surely make Scott smile as only Scott could.
