Cousin Leon

Leon Teichner

Very sorry to hear about Scott. I’ve known him a long time he will surely be missed. We traveled together to see his horses run, and shared the same love for the White Sox. Again my condolences to the family.

Terry Zis

This really hit me hard. We grew up together from the age of 6 (we were only 4 months apart and we went together to get our Social Security cards when we were 16), but unfortunately lost touch during college. May his memory forever be a blessing.

Harve Tucker

I am so very sorry for your family’s loss. I stood next to Scott in the Japanese Yen pit for almost 10 years. In many ways he mentored me in there and was very special to me. I will always have cherished memories of Scott ❤️
Again I’m so sorry.

Dear Bari and family
I loved visiting with him at Sunset every summer and hearing about how proud he was of all of you and how much he loved his family. He was a wonderful guy and will be missed.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Sending love to all.

Martha Gray

Scott and I met over 25 years ago as traders on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. We both retired and lost touch. for several years. We reconnected at Sunset Valley Golf Course where Scott was a starter and I was his ranger. We then became playing partners on the golf course twice a week where we shared many laughs and poor golf shots. Work, golf and lunches became our routine and I will always treasure those memories...
My sincere condolences to Bari and the entire Schwab family. May Scott's memory be a blessing.

Scott and I met about 12 years ago at Sunset Valley while we both worked there he as a starter and myself inside the pro shop. We shared laughs together as we talked all the time there. Tuesdays and saturdays will never be the same without his funny conversations. I will miss him and sincere condolences to Scott’s family

My sympathies to the family of Scott Schwab. I knew him as the Saturday starter at Sunset Valley Golf Course but I know he was much more than that. Scott always greeted me with a big smile and warm hello. We would catch him on the past week. He was proud of his kids and grandkids. He was pretty good with a joke or sly comment. He will be missed at the golf course and by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Monte Mann

I had the privilege of working with Scotty for over 16 years at Sunset Valley. He was truly loved by his coworkers and friends at the course, and I will miss him very much.

One of his greatest gifts to me was introducing his daughter, Dr. Brady Reis, to my wife and me. Dr. Reis delivered our two beautiful children.

Cole Sangern

Loved Scott, he was such a bright light at the golf course. I am devastated hearing this news. My thoughts and prayers are with the family for one of the nicest people I have ever encountered. Scott left such an impact May his bright light shine through everyone who was fortunate enough to know him. Rest in peace my friend.

Scott Epton

Scottie was a dear friend. There’s a huge void in the world without him. I will never enjoy my Saturday golf with as much joy in the future. I would like to work to be a little bit of the mensch he was. My sadness is outweighed by the joy of thinking of him and remembering his infectious smile. Shalom my friend.

Scott Thompson

My family and I were so sad to hear about Scott. He was such a great friend to my husband made him laugh. Took care of him, took him out and Donald always enjoyed seeing him. My condolences to all of you.

Marlene Kraft

We've known each other our whole lives.

Although we haven't seen each other much recently, we did have the kismet to keep us kindred throughout life.
My condolences to you Bari, Carol & the girls...

Mindy Moore

So sorry to hear about Scott. He brightened everyone’s day at Sunset Valley. His smile and sense of humor was always the best way to start a round of golf. This was only a small window into his full and deep life and loves but was much appreciated. May his memory be a blessing.

Melanie Shanks

For the past five years I would show up on Saturday morning at 6:45 and see Scott. It was always a warm welcome by Scott. I came to find out he was the same Scott I ran orders to when I was in 16. We would reminisce together of our careers as CBOE members and talk about the cast of characters we worked with. My oldest brother Jim had a relationship with Scott as well and his response to the news was "Scott always treated me well a really good guy." Golf on Saturday mornings this year will not be the same.

Thomas Murphy

I’m so very sorry for your family’s loss. Sending heartfelt condolences. May his memory be a blessing.

Mandy Kirsch

My condolences to the entire family. No matter how my week went, I would look forward to seeing Scott Saturday morning. We would talk about our week, what happened in Highwood and laugh about it all. He was a special person, I will miss him very much.

Dennis Salinas

Bari & family;

Howard Katz

My sincere condolences to the entire family ! Wishing you love and hugs and great memories to last a lifetime !

Hedy Merel

Scott was my lifelong friend, from College at the U of I, to Law School, ultimately following him to the CBOE trading floor. He was a diehard White Sox and Illini fan.
He was quirky as could be (some might say nutty), but he had a heart of pure gold and his greatest pleasure in life, besides his family, was making people smile and laugh.
I'm just another of his fans, and I'll miss him deeply.

Wayne Goodman

Bari and girls, I was so sad to hear of Scott’s passing. We would chat at the golf course and I will miss seeing him. May his memory be for a blessing.

Wendy Reiman

One can’t remember Scott without smiling. His death has brought a big loss to family and friends. And the world has lost a lot of laughter, sarcasm, teasing and cash flow with Scott gone. Very sorry.

Ira Sloan

Scott was truly one of a kind. I’ll always cherish our conversations about Illini football and basketball. He meant so much to all of us and was such an important part of the Sunset Valley family.

My heart goes out to his family. I hope you can find some comfort in knowing how deeply he was appreciated and loved by the Sunset Valley team. He will be missed more than words can express.

Ryan Ochs

I was saddened to hear of Scotti's passing. My late husband Howard and I didn't know him well but we knew him for a long time. Whenever we saw him our day was just a little brighter. My sincere condolences to the Schwab family. May Scotts memory be a blessing.

Dear Bari and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I will miss seeing him at the bank and his wonderful sense of humor. It was always a pleasure to see him. He is one of my favorite people/

Karla Eaker

I didn’t know Scott well but every Saturday at Sunset Valley he greeted me and 15 of my friends as though we were his best Buddies. We were always happy to spend a few minutes with him and I know we will all miss him this year. My condolences to his entire family and especially his grandchildren who he loved dearly.

Pat McCann

Scott had the gift of always making you feel like the only one in the room. How I will miss him commenting on my golf game every Saturday morning and lamenting our White Sox. Simply a wonderful man. I feel blessed to have known him. Hit them straight and far my friend.

Patrick Caruso

He was bigger than life. I’m sorry for your loss. May his memory be a blessing.
