Scott Barton Obituary

IN MEMORY OF DR SCOTT BARTON A WISE MAN NEVER FORGOTTEN.

In memories of a man that will never be forgotten.

To the family and friends of Scott Barton: I was surprised and saddened to learn of your/our recent loss. Scott had such a kind, quiet demeanor, and such a thoughtful approach. Although quiet and respectful, he was keenly aware and insightful, in ways that were both amusing and smart. I will miss talking with him at our next Division 22 conference this February. His colleagues will miss him, and I am so sorry to hear of his passing.

I met Scott through Division 22. We had lunch and dinner together lots at Division 22 events. I always made a point of seeking him out to socialize. He was a passionate advocate for his patients, a thoughtful provider and a strong proponent regarding the role of psychology. He was a friend as well on the Practice Committee. He will be missed by me and others tremendously. I was stunned to learn of his passing -- I had just recommended him for a Leadership role when I was told of his passing. I am very sad and I will miss his wisdom and friendship.

Hello from Wisconsin, I'm sorry to hear of his illness and subsequent death which was just publicized among the Rehab Psychologist Listserv. I met Scott at many of the annual Rehab Psychology conferences. Neither of us ever stayed at the conference hotel- Scott because of his dietary needs, me because of the price. We attended many sessions together and had many lunches together, often with Joann Massey from Pensacola. Because Scott and I were the only psychologists in our respective facilities, we shared many of the same concerns. I found Scott to be very friendly and clearly devoted to doing good work on behalf of his patients. He was a good man and psychologist. Our last meeting was in the winter of 2015. I retired that following summer. I'm sad to hear this tragic news. You have my best wishes.

To the family of Dr. Barton: As a fellow neuropsychologist as well as President of the American Psychological Association (of which he was a member of), please accept our deepest sympathies and our thoughts on the passing of this wonderful human being and a top shelf professional. Tony Puente

I only met Dr. Barton at a conference, but I was so touched by his kind spirit and genuine interest in those around him. I can only imagine the lasting impact he made on the lives of his loved ones, colleagues, and patients. Sending my thoughts and prayers to his family.

On behalf of the UAB Department of Psychology, in Birmingham, Alabama, we offer our sincere condolences to Scott's family.

Like others, I was very saddened to hear of Scott's death. I had the pleasure of knowing him through our mid-winter Rehabilitation Psychology conferences. He would attend my ethics talks and afterward would always have a kind word to say. He and I also showed interest in many of the same presentations, and I was so impressed with the thoughtfulness of his questions and comments, no matter what the topic. Many others know him so much better than I but even in the brief exchanges I had with him at the conferences, his warmth, caring, and dedication shone through. His energy will be missed. My condolences to his family and friends.

Scott was such a wonderful mentor to all in the Division 22 Rehabilitation Psychology. I remember when I presented how thoughtful his comments were and how he gently offered suggestions. I will always remember his kindness.

On behalf of the Division of Rehabilitation Psychology of the American Psychological Association, I would like to express our condolences and sympathy at the loss of your family member, Dr. Scott Barton. Scott is remembered as a kind, genuine, helpful and dedicated colleague who was committed to improving the lives of individuals with disabilities and in supporting the practice of psychology. His presence will be missed at our annual conference and as we work to move our profession forward.

I am terribly saddened if not shocked of hearing that Scott
has passed away. It seems to have occured so sudden. I have known Scott forever as I mentored him during his post-doctoral training. We have been friends and professional colleagues for a long, long time. I will deeply miss him. My sincere condolences to his wife, Jan and his family. May Scott rest in peace.

To Scott's family, I am so sorry to hear about your loss of such a wonderful, brilliant man and mentor. I was priveledged to be able to work with Scott at roper rehab for many years and think the world of him, his mind and compassion for all of man kind. My prayers go out to all of his family.

To Family: Dr Barton saved my life. I pray for peace in your time of loss. After 3 years with someone you learn about them too. He taught me tools I'll use the rest of my life. Thank you Dr. Blessed be the family

I have rarely met a kinder and gentler soul than my cousin Scott. No matter the length of time that passed between our encounters, it was as though we'd spoken only days before. We often launched ourselves into deep conversations on a wide range of topics, punctuated with humor that never failed to lighten the mood. A part of me is lost without his presence.

Dear Jan,
I am so saddened by Scott's death, cutting his splendid life short. He and I had some very meaningful conversations during my time in Pastoral Care at Roper. And you, too, were a valued colleague to me. I pray for strength and comfort for you and all of Scott's family as you adjust to the loss of his physical presence with you. May peace and serenity prevail in your life.
I would cherish an opportunity to communicate with you: [email protected]; 843-371-8028

It was a pleasure knowing Dr.B.
I will miss his smiling face on 8P.

Hello Scott. My friend. My Mr. WIZARD. My lover of nature. My soul sharer. My Woodstock to your
Haight-Ashbury. My inner child journey maker. My wholistic team member. My long tall Mexican soul searcher. My laughter sharer. My fellow Libra. So much to so many. Your compassion, your pain, and beautiful love for Jan. You shared your tears for her when she suffered a deep loss.Tears of love that poets write about; artists,like Jan, paint about. Soon when I cross the Rainbow Bridge, I will see you with Caspar. As for your legacy: the most mysterious is the most beautiful. Jan words fail me. You recently lost your best friend. Now you have lost your soul mate. Fill this void with a special peace. Grief is personal and painful. Know that so many known and unknown to you have you in our thoughts, words, actions, and in our art collections across the nation. Namaste.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Dr. Barton will be missed. He was very kind person.

A great man that will be sorely missed by his wide network of friends and family!

Dear Ms Sasser, I am so sad to hear of Dr. Barton's passing. He was my daughter and my brother's doctor. He was kind, compassionate, and so helpful. Often even after a visit, he would send an extra bit of helpful information or encouragement. He spoke kindly and lovingly of you one day. His eyes were shining... He was a special man. He will be deeply missed. I am honored that I got to know him even if it was only briefly and only on a professional level.

I AM PRYAING FOR THE FAMILY, I HAVE BEEN DELIGHTED TO HAVE KNOWN AND WORKED WITH DR BARTON FOR THE LAST 17 YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN WITH ROPER HOSPITAL KEEPING THE FAMILY IN MY PRAYERS

I am so sorry for your loss. It is at times like these when we are crushed at heart and need love and support that God provides what we need. May your hearts always be filled with the love you shared because love never fails.
