Michael Scott remembered at funeral service -- chicagotribune.com:
"Chicago Board of Education President Michael Scott was remembered Saturday as a civic giant who remained calm amid adversity, and as a doting father and faithful friend.
'Michael, I will miss you,' Mayor Richard Daley said, choking back emotion as he eulogized a man who worked on his 1983 campaign. 'You were my best friend.'
Several speakers told the crowd of more than 900 at Holy Family Catholic Church on Chicago's West Side that they may never understand the violent circumstances of Scott's death. The 60-year-old was found Monday in shallow water off the Chicago River's North Branch. The Cook County medical examiner's office called it a suicide, and police are waiting test results and reviewing evidence."
