In Memoriam-Scott Ouyoung, Founder of Globe Union

Keith Yurko, CEO North American Group, had the distinct honor and privilege to have a close relationship with Scott and penned the below message as a tribute to Scott’s legacy.

If we are fortunate enough throughout our lifetime to meet people during our journey that are impactful to our lives, we are truly blessed. And for having known Scott, I am truly blessed.

A RESPECTED MAN – Scott had an innate ability to earn peoples’ respect in the business world and on a personal level.

A GREAT LEADER – His leadership was steadfast through the good times and challenging times, which means he was hard on his teams occasionally; all for what he thought was best for the company and our individual growth.

A MENTOR/TEACHER – He exhibited patience to bring out the best in people even when they made a mistake, but held a high standard—do not make the same mistake twice!

A DRIVER – Accountability and the commitment to keep promises were greatly important to Scott.

A CARING INDIVIDUAL – He was kind to all of his colleagues and their families, and managed to make each person and family feel special.

A CONFIDENTLY HUMBLE COMRADE – Scott never took credit for success himself but instead always gave it to others. He also was quick to take responsibility when he felt he was wrong.

A GREAT FRIEND – Scott has been all of the above for many people, myself included, but I am grateful to say I was also able to call him a true friend.

I will miss you my friend, but I am comforted by all of the wonderful memories we shared over the years that will stay with me through my lifetime.
