Scott Rohner Date of Birth: March 23, 1979 Position: Trader on the Foreign Exchange Scott only lived to be 22 years old, but he accomplished more than most people accomplish in a lifetime. He grew up in a loving family, the fifth of six children, in River Edge, New Jersey. He attended River Dell High School, where he was the captain of the football and basketball teams, and later played both sports at Hobart College, where he majored in economics and minored in Americans Studies. He was an exceptional son, brother, cousin, nephew, grandson and loyal friend. Scott loved life, and experienced more than many people do, because he had such a positive attitude. If you met Scott, you would be taken by his trusting eyes and warm smile. He chose to see the good in people. He never judged people, but respected them for their beliefs. He was smart, sensitive, funny, athletic and genuine. He was unselfish and compassionate. Everyone who met him admired and loved him because of his warm spirit and kindness. He had a much to live for, and would have made great contributions to this world. He was far from ordinary, as everyone said who knew him. Even though he was only 22 when he died, he lived more, loved more and experienced more than many can say they have. He brought so much joy into our lives; it is hard to imagine that we can go on without him. Our hearts ache, but when we think of Scott, and his exceptional life, we smile.

Scooter,
Not a day goes by where I don’t think about all the good times we shared. Your laugh, your smile, your jokes. I value every experience we ever shared. I feel that your impact on my life is tremendous. Scooter you were and still are like a brother to me. I love you and will never forget you.
Justin
Scooter,
It’s amazing that for 22 years I always had something to say to you, now it’s hard for me to find words to put on your tribute. I guess the first thing I wanna say is that I love you. You played such a huge role in shaping the person that I have become, and I am so proud of that. Not everyone in this world has the friendship that we shared; it doesn’t come around very often, and as much as it hurts to think about the way we were and the times we had, I am so grateful that you were apart of my life. I miss the way we shook hands, danced around like fools, and made stupid faces at each other. People thought we were crazy, but it was just our way having a good time. I miss you so much Scotty and there is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about you. You were and still are my best friend, my brother, and I know that you’re in a better place waiting to shake my hand.
