Wow. So sorry to see this.  He was at several launches this year.  Can't get my mind to accept this. Godspeed Scott; wish it wasn't so. You are missed. 

Tough to comprehend - he was meticulous and precise. As was noted elsewhere, at least he died doing something he really enjoyed.  

This sad news is a real kick in the gut. Scott was always smiling and generous with his time. The last time I saw him, I think it was at Mayhem, he was helping his grandkids launch. 

And seconding your point, Steve, I actually overheard a news report late Monday or early Tuesday. I wasn't paying much attention. My first thought was about how dangerous Longs Peak is this time of year (or anytime), but my second thought was... what a coincidence that the victim had the same name as one of my rocket buddies. My mind didn't even entertain the possibility that they were one and the same.

A Celebration of Life for Dr. Scott Corliss will be held Saturday morning, October 8th at 10 AM, at the 1st Assembly of God in Greeley - 3000 W 16th St, Greeley, CO.
