Gutterman, CEO of Jewish Family Services in Columbus and a former director of Ohio’s Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation, said she owes her career to the Myerses. As the state rehabilitation director, she worked with thousands of counselors, but the finest were those trained by the Myerses.
"Their gift to their student was to imbue in all of us their values, their pursuit of excellence and their ability to see the person, not the disability,” she said. “As simple as this may sound, they created a cadre of professionals who literally transformed our field and changed the lives of thousands upon thousands of people with disabilities.
"Few can ever make a mark on the world that is that meaningful and that indelible.”
"Scotty is remembered with love and respect. She was a wonderful woman who has positively impacted on countless lives of developmentally disabled persons she assisted and Rehabilitation Counselors she educated. I am grateful to both Scotty and Julian for their mentorship, ethics/values, and most of all friendship."
Steve Heilman

"Scottie and Julian truely left their mark on the field of Psychiatric Rehabilitation. FYI, I forwarded it on to Tony Zipple who began his MH career at UC Rehab (and working with me at the MHB) under Scottie and Julian, went on to Boston College where he got his doctorate and where he worked with Bill Anthony and the BC group, eventually went on to become CEO of Thresholds in Chicago. Just one on many trained by Scottie and Julian who have had a tremendous impact on many, many individuals with a mental illness."
Bob Oberrmeyer
"That is sad news about Dr.Scott."
Debbie Dutton-Lambert
"I am sorry to hear of your loss. Back in the early 90s when Consumer Network was forming (back then Advocacy Coalition), Dr. Scotty encouraged representation from consumers at Mighty Vine (which I believe was IKRON Wellness). She offered a unique perspective and sage advice to a fledgling endeavor. I will always remember her fondly."

" Wow. I was just thinking about Dr. Scott this weekend for the first time in a long time - I'd thought about sending her a card or trying to see her before Christmas."
"I have no doubt that you'll miss her, although I can't walk into IKRON without seeing her - I'm sure you feel her presence there every day".
Love from Joe and all the Koizes
"So sorry to know you are gone Dr. Scott – I will surely miss you. You have been my mentor and friend. I treasure the times we spent together – from working on projects and grants for IKRON or just having breakfast together and talking. I love you dr. Scott!"
