November 8, 1948 �" August 10, 2016
Robert Scott passed away August 10, 2016, his husband and loving friends at his bedside. A four-month struggle with brain cancer ended peacefully and without pain.
Robert's San Francisco life included a 30-plus year career advocating for civil rights as a manager for the federal Department of Education following his graduation from a master's program at Stanford. He was a pioneering aerobics instructor whose "killer classes" at the Central YMCA were a Saturday tradition for decades. A towering figure in the recovery community, Robert shared his experience, love, and hope with scores of his fellows. In retirement, he put his handsome face to work in a new career as an actor and model.
Survivors include Robert's husband, Dick McIntosh; his sister-in-law, Laurie Kurnick; his incredibly devoted friends; and his beloved cocker spaniel, Archibald McIntosh-Scott. Robert's love is precious and irreplaceable. We will carry it with us as we go on without him.
