Our colleagues
Our colleagues... Our
friends... We will forever remember and miss you...
Tuesday, September 11, 2001 will be forever remembered. Tragedy struck not
only New York, Washington DC, and Pennsylvania, but rather the entire
world. Thousands and thousands of people were victims of this senseless
act. All of us were affected either through personal loss or
emotionally. Sadly, many of our colleagues within the financial community
were victims. FIX Protocol Ltd has designated this area as a vehicle for
the FIX community to recognize and commemorate the colleagues we've lost.

I have known Scott since
1995 and consider him a true friend. His good nature, strong
personality, and sense of humor certainly invigorated otherwise dull FIX
Steering Committee meetings for many years. I will truly miss you...

Scott
brought people together - clients, vendors, competitors - he was a "hub"
of interaction. He was a true New Yorker, a good guy
with a big laugh and an even
bigger heart. Like it or not, you could always count on him for an honest
and passionate opinion. He was a spokesperson for FIX
and connectivity, a great public speaker with a vision towards a future
made better by technology. He was always there to
help and we will miss him. It was fun, Scott.
May God bless you and keep you.

| I had the
opportunity to get to know Scott through the FIX committee and other
industry meetings. He was fun to be with, had a big heart and a great,
smiling face. He always livened up the conversations and I truly miss
him.

| I have
known Scott since 1994 as a colleague and a friend, and will always
remember him for his generosity and consideration. He loved to be with
people. He was honest and open and relished an intellectual debate on
any topic. I will never forget Scott's unique way of
influencing others to see the lighter side of
potentially adverse situations with his creative sense
of humor and ever so entertaining nature. May God bless you Scott, we
will think of you often.

| Scott
always had a smile on his face; whether it was enjoying dinner with
friends or a mischievous grin accompanying a biting comment to someone
who just didn't get it. A leader, a mentor and above all a friend;
you could always rely on Scott for an honest, forthright opinion.
He had a vision for the future and a pragmatic approach to turning
this into reality, while at the same time reminding us all not to
take ourselves so seriously!
We will miss you Scott, but you will live on
in our hearts... Keep smiling.... --

| Too soon
my friend. Too soon. Your knowledge of our industry and witty perspective
on how all the pieces of our complex connectivity puzzle fits together
was always delivered with enthusiasm and confidence. I will never
forget how you would laugh at your own stories
and jokes while you were telling them.
Funny? Yes. But man you knew what you were talking about; and
people listened. You taught us to be confident in our knowledge and
deliver it with a smile. We will all miss you
greatly... --

| I was
lucky enough to have known Scott. We did not always see eye to eye
about everything, but spending time with him was always a pleasure without
a dull moment. He will not be forgotten. --
Sep 28, 2001 - Tim Wildenberg, UBS Warburg |
| I've
known Scott since my early days on the FIX Executive Committee. I've
always had tremendous respect for him - he
brought passion, humor and intelligence to all
his endeavors. He was a powerful advocate for the FIX protocol and a great
person to work with. He will be greatly missed by
many. --

| Scott
had a tremendous influence on my career and taught me so much about
finding the bright side of any difficult situation. I had great
fortune to work with Scott twice over
the last 10 years and he always had
time to listen and give counsel. More so, he was truly like an older
brother to me and I miss him tremendously. His passion for life
and incredible generosity had a positive
impact on the lives of so many people.
Take care Buff, thanks for everything.. --

I had the great fortune of having known Scott and grown with Scott over many years. Whether it was teasing me about my on-going singledom at New Year's or sending a 'care' package to my job, you just knew you were never far from Scott's thoughts no matter how many months or years had gone by. To this day, I still yearn to pick up the phone and hear that voice or order mushrooms in a restaurant with him just to watch the reaction.
I'll miss you always. --

| Bill and
I became colleagues about 2 years ago at Bloomberg and quickly became
friends. Bill epitomized the term 'team player', and would give the
shirt off his back to a stranger. There wasn't a
selfish bone in his body and he had a heart
of gold. I'm a better person for having known him and will
miss him dearly.

| Bill will
be missed by all of us here Macgregor that knew and had a chance
to work with him. Bill's always recognizable voice had a spring to it
that always made you think that he was happy to be alive and smiling on
the other end of the phone. He was a great guy to
deal with and we will always remember his
voice and friendship that came across so noticeably over the phone.

| I only
knew Bill for a few months but in that short time I was one of the fortunate
ones to have known him. He was always willing to help me out, and I
needed that help being new to the Firm. We would
share a laugh on Friday afternoons when he
would stop by my desk as I blasted songs from Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville!
I only wish that I had gotten to know him better, and that is my
loss.

| Bill
always had a smile on his face. It was almost criminal. He made himself
available to anyone who needed assistance. He was
selfless, thoughtful, and just a really
terrific individual to work with. Anyone who worked with him has
felt a terrible loss, but were richer for being around him.
Our condolences to his family.
