R Scott Martin, age 48, of Winchester, ended his battle with ALS on September 14, 2017. He was born in Northampton, MA on February 14, 1969, Valentine's Day. Between those dates he accomplished so much and touched so many people.
Scott grew up in Easthampton, MA, attending local schools. As a child he was very active in youth soccer, baseball, tennis and swimming programs, and spent much of his days playing out back in the woods. He graduated from the former Holyoke Catholic High School, went on to graduate from Bryant University and was later awarded an MBA from Bentley University with high honors. Scott spent his entire career in the investment industry until November 2016, when he was no longer able to do so.
Scott was married to the love of his life and best friend Camilla Ericson in 1997. They eventually settled in Winchester, MA where they raised their two children. Their life centered on family and their professional careers. The children became very involved in the Winchester sports programs especially hockey and baseball. As a family they enjoyed many wonderful vacations together in and outside of the country. His family, friends, classmates, and business associates knew Scott to be a caring, passionate, ethical, kind, and gentle person with a great smile.
