Nancy Roberts lit a candleJuli, I am so sorry to hear of Robert's passing. May God give you peace that surpasses all understanding and may Robert Rest in Peace. You and your family are in my prayers. Warm thoughts,

I did not know him as a business associate, but as family. Scott was at every wedding, funeral or family event. He was bold and decisive, but conscientious and considerate. It sounds like he treated everyone like family. We will miss him.
I have known Scott since 2007 at the very early part of my career. I worked with him through the years and also had a close working relationship when he chaired the board risk committee and his time as CEO. Scott was one of the smartest individual I have met during my career. He was wise, always thought of what was good long term and stood by the employees. I have learnt a lot from Scott and I am grateful for all his support in helping me grow in my career. Sending lots of prayers to Scott. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Amir
I will miss him a great deal. We loved to give each other a hard time, especially as kids. But he was one of the most sensitive and intuitive men I know. A great champion of the women in his life. He knew more than most men, the value women bring to all aspects of life. He was quick to laugh and acted on challenges rather than reacting. All of the beautiful things everyone has had to say means so much. Love to you Juli and Libby, John and Rob we are thinking of you. Grandma and Aunt Erin
So sad to hear of Scotts passing. He was a childhood friend of my brothers and I remember his Javelin. Many prayers for the family.
Scott and I met back in 2002 when we both started retail electric providers in the newly deregulated Texas market. We fought many legislative and regulatory battles together winning some and losing others. He was the smart more reserved one that I could count on to explain anything to me, even for the 100th time! After we both sold our companies, we lost touch until 2020 when we called me to work with him on the Just Energy board. It was over the last 3 years that I got to work more closely with Scott. His humility and grace coupled with his integrity, his compassion and he abundance of positivity made him the great leader, the great man that he was.
THe last time we exchanged words, he remarked that while we have know each other for quite some time, neither of us was any OLDER. That was Scott, always upbeat!
My prayers go out to Juli and the rest of his family. May his memory be blessing. Rest in Peace my friend.
It was my privilege to know and work with Scott. His passing is truly a loss and he will be missed by many.
Dallas Ross lit a candleI met Scott in 2017 when I joined the Just Energy board. I immediately recognized that he really was a remarkable leader, quiet, intelligent, attentive, thoughtful, strategic and tactical all while remaining cool, calm and extremely composed even in extremely difficult circumstances. People respected Scott and he connected easily with employees and people he dealt with across the board. His remarkable leadership occurred without swagger or self importance and his capability, humility and integrity spoke volumes and served to attract people to follow him. He cared for people and listened to their perspectives. It’s part of what made him such an impactful leader and he will certainly be missed!!
Our sincere condolences to Juli and all of his family.

Scott’s life was the epitome of a life well lived. He was a mentor to countless people - not just professionally but in the way he publicly demonstrated his love and devotion to his family. He adored and cherished his children and bragged on them at every opportunity and he was absolutely revered by his Louisiana cousins. His wit, charm, and acumen will be missed by all who knew him, cherish his memory, and look forward to seeing him again.
Scott was a great partner, mentor and friend. I was honored and privileged that God brought him into my life, even though it was only for short time. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
I know I will see you again my friend!
