of August 23rd as Scott Sims day!

Kaua'i Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr. declares August 23rd, Scott Sims day in honor and memory of the Aloha barefoot vet that touched thousands of humans and animal friends worldwide.

Dinca and Coco came to pay
 respects to the 
Great doctor!

There was a  20 minute slide and video presentation of Scott's life. There was not a dry eye in the house. Everyone at the memorial felt sorrow at the loss of the beloved iconic mensch Dr. Scott, and the heavens, too, wept tears with a heavy downpour during the presentation.

You would had thought the pope or some famous movie- rock star or President  was being put to rest. The energy was electrifying--Like a  great revival the spirit and positive energies were every where. Just attending this event was truly a spiritual experience that no words or blog can put forth in words.

Mike and Nani, friends and patients
of Dr. Scott's enjoy some of the
food catered by Kauai's famous
Chicken in a Barrel restaurant.

approximately 1,000 people RSVP'ed, for Kauai that's an amazing figure since traditionally nobody responds to RSVP's on Kauai.People coming to the memorial were asked to carpool since this was one of the biggest events ever for Kauai's North-shore.

Many thousands viewed the event worldwide via Hawaii live-stream, some of the comments from a photo posting I posted along with a link to the live-stream are included herein;

 great man who touched so many...

Many dogs and birds also came to pay their final  respects to Dr. Scott.

Many whom only knew Scott from his reality TV show the Aloha vet had tears running down their cheeks.
