Bob Chill Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Oh man. I just read the thread with a heavy heart and lump in my throat. Most of my interaction with him was in AP when I was active there. I've read tons of his wxside posts as well. As a father of 4 it breaks my heart to see this happen. God bless his family and RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchnick Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 wow, I hadn't looked into the NE forum in a long time and then saw this thread....terrible, terrible news I remember him posting back in the ne.weather days going back to 96' or 97', but I had no idea until now that Messenger/Sweat were Scott Simard! in fact, thinking back to those days at ne.weather now and then, I wondered where some of those great posters were, including Scott my prayers go out to the Simard family and friends....may he rest in peace in the arms of the Lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I remember Scott Simard at "ne.weather" going back at least to 2000. I recall him as being one of the most active posters there and a high quality as well as quite passionate poster to boot. I didn't know he had been posting here. May Scott rest in peace. ..

Logan11 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 And we had many a good weather debate with Scott over on MIRC #weather chat room together. Todd Gross and several others started that in July of '95 as an outgrowth of ne.weather. Scott may not have come on the chat until a few years after that. I'm trying try recall his chat nickname, but he may have had several. Even back then you knew that he was going to be on top of every little aspect of minutia in the latest model runs. wow, I hadn't looked into the NE forum in a long time and then saw this thread....terrible, terrible news I remember him posting back in the ne.weather days going back to 96' or 97', but I had no idea until now that Messenger/Sweat were Scott Simard! in fact, thinking back to those days at ne.weather now and then, I wondered where some of those great posters were, including Scott my prayers go out to the Simard family and friends....may he rest in peace in the arms of the Lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago WX Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Awful, terrible news. I'm not from the region, but go way back to the WWBB days. Remember reading Scott's posts from then through here at AMEX. A true weather hobbyist legend. He will be sorely missed by many in this community. Condolences to his friends and family.

wxsniss Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 This is public information, so thought I could share the link on here: http://nickerson-bourne-bourne.tributes.com/dignitymemorial/obituary/Scott-David-Simard-102250941 An interesting excerpt: "Scott's many hobbies included boating, fishing, skiing, attending concerts with his family and being an avid fan of all New England sports teams. Known for possessing a brilliant mind, he was knowledgeable of a wide variety of topics and was often sought by friends and family alike for his opinions and assistance. In his 43 short years, Scott befriended a great many people and will be sorely missed by all. " I think they missed a hobby... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 So I see Ryan and Scott at the Northeastern Storm Conference in NY (where I am now), and they tell me that messenger died. I had to think, and yes, I do recall some of his posts in Eastern under messenger as well as Cweat here. While I haven't been here much over the last year or so, I had to come. Scott was a great forecaster, whether a hobbyist or otherwise. I recall some of his passionate posts, and did wonder about some of his forecasts, until they worked out. Very talented. Very, very sad to hear about Scott's sudden passing, but it's been very nice reading (with tears in my eyes) all the wonderful tributes here and on his virtual guest book. Fair winds and calm seas, Scott. Hope you're reeling in the big one. --Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Today is the official day to say farewell to Scott...how tragic...a wonderful life taken far too soon...I will miss his passion... Goodbye Scott. Does anyone know how he died? I'd like to know too. So many things I want to say but I don't know how to say them. I feel like I've known so many here for so long. Like was said earlier in this thread, there is a sense of family, of shared experience here that's hard to quantify but I know that I feel a hole in the fabric and it's unsettling. There is comfort in knowing that so many of us are feeling similarly as evidenced by old members showing up in this thread that we haven't heard from in a while. Thank you all for being "here."

Ginx snewx Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 March 09, 2015 Yesterday to see the response to my son's wake from all of you brought our family much solace in this terrible time. I want to thank you all for sharing our sorrow, it was so gratifying to know our son/brother/husband/dad created so much happiness in this world. Scott cared about you, the birds, the fish and the little frogs he used to catch 35 years ago in our backyard. His intelligence and compassion will never be matched because he was one in a million, literally. From me his dad to my wife Patty to his brother PJ to Heather, Brooke and Taylor we thank you all and just ask you think of Scott once in awhile with a smile, we will.... — peter simard, easton, Mass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakeEffectKing Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 RIP Scott....I conversed with him quite a bit back on WWB...Remembering him "ripping the ETA apart" because of his common phrase "generating spurious vorticity maxima" are well engrained in my memory. Prayers to his family! So sorry/sad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
