The OP started announced this news with thread in a couple of forums. The other threads have been locked but I moved most of the posts into this one. ---

I remember **ChiefScott** ’s post about trying to remove the shower curtain while standing on the toilet seat. One of the funniest things I’ve read on the Dope. RIP **ChiefScott** StG ---

He will be missed. As far as I know - [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=9553215&postcount=30) was the only smilie he ever posted in response to being the feature performer and singing “Sweet Emoticon”. [sup](Even though I had to drag it out of him by asking him privately if he hated the song…)[/sup] He was a great sport about it. Every time I see excessive use of smilies, I’ll remember the Chief. _salutes_ Sad news indeed. My sympathies to **Girlbysea** , and all his friends and family. . ---

I barely knew \*\*ChiefScott \*\*but when he returned to the board for a while I interacted with him a fair amount as we live in the same general area and were both Navy. He almost came to one of the DopeFests I use to host. I enjoyed his posts, he had the great ability to tell a humorous story well. I read some of his older threads as they were so entertaining. My condolences **Girlbysea.** I am sorry I did not get a chance to meet him and know him better. ---

I’m so sorry. I was not fortunate enough to have any interactions with **ChiefScott** , but it leaves a hole to lose a member of the family. My prayers and condolences are with his family and friends. ---

ChiefScott was one of those memorable posters whose threads stayed with me. I was impressed with the way he got to the bottom of the shoe polish business. Even though I never met him in person, I’m sad to hear that he died. ---

> [@meek](#): > > He was a great sport about it. Every time I see excessive use of smilies, I’ll remember the Chief. Me too! Whenever I see someone posting a string of 'em, I always look for him to register his humorous disapproval. Sigh. As a fellow-old timer, I’m sad to hear the news. Prayers offered for his family. ---
