Just googling around for people I once knew. It appears Scott Longston passed away May of last year.
I was hoping to see him at least once more but time and busy stuff got in the way. He was a nice fella. RIP buddy.
I could not find an obituary but there's a gofundme fundraiser for funeral expenses which is still up.
