Thank you for that.  It's so unbelievable.  I don't have words.

 Thank
 you Gloria for letting everyone know and keeping everyone up
 to date throughout the past few weeks. You've helped us
 all so much.  
 I will ask
 about funeral arrangements as a lot of people are asking me
 and may want to travel to New York.  I didn't think to
 ask Scott's sister when I first heard from her last
 night and I didn't have the heart to bother her again
 later.  His family has been through sooo much and it's
 been so tough on them.  They've been so kind to
 everyone who has gone to see Scott.     
   
 Scott had written a thank you
 letter to his groups that he planned to send out at the end
 of the year.  His father told me that Scott wrote it out by
 hand first, as they found it in his apartment.  He had
 written it several times and crossed out and re-written
 various portions.  Scott sent me a typed version a few
 weeks ago to proof read.  He really wanted it to be
 absolutely perfect before he sent it out to everyone.  He
 told me he had been working on it since July.  I'm so
 glad he sent it to me so that I can share it with you all. 
 Even though it's not the end of the year, it seems
 appropriate now, as it was meant for everyone.  In this own
 words:  
 
 Dear friends,
 
 
 I had a lot of fun socializing with everyone
 this year.  As much as I enjoy when my friends come to my
 events, I also enjoy meeting new people.  This year, I met
 so many wonderful new people
 in my group.  Many of the new people have
 also become great friends of mine.  One thing I enjoy about my
 group is how quickly friendships
 are formed.  Looking back at the pictures,
 it looks like we have known each other forever. 
 But I see in many of the
 pictures that people actually met for the first
 time at that event.
 
 I want to thank all those who gave me
 suggestions of places
 to go with my group.  I’m sorry if I did
 not use your suggestion.  I also want to
 thank people for complimenting me as an organizer and
 writing nice reviews
 about me and my group on the Meetup site.  A special thank
 you to those that drove me
 places I could not get to otherwise.  
 
 This year, I took the group to many new places
 throughout
 the DC Metropolitan area that I wanted to check out; as well
 as going back to
 some fun spots I have enjoyed in the past.  I have already
 started a list of
 some new places I want to check out next year.  I promise
 to go back to many fun spots we have
 enjoyed this year. 
 
 Lastly, I just want to say thanks for coming
 along on all my
 adventures throughout the DC area.  As much as you
 appreciate what I do, I
 appreciate you coming to my events even more.  Every event
 -- whether it was a Meetup or non
 Meetup (hanging with friends) -- was filled with a lot of
 fun and a lot of
 laughs.  I have so many wonderful
 memories with many of you throughout the entire year.
 
 
 I want to wish each of you a Happy and Healthy
 New Year.  I
 look forward to socializing with you in 2015.Scott Magid

 We all lost a good
 friend and buddy tonite.
 Message from his family said Scott passed away peacefully
 today (Sunday). His kidneys and liver were matched to people
 awaiting organ donations and he may also be able to donate
 his lungs.
 Even in death, Scott is still the most giving and caring
 person and able to help other families in need. He was
 always there for everyone.
 His family said they told him how much he was loved by
 all of us in his life.
 This is such sad and tragic news. He and I won't be
 seeing the Who next year like we planned. We won't be
 doing anything anymore.
 This is all the information I have for now.
