He especially cherished his role as “Pop Pop” to his beloved grandson, Wesley. He is also survived by his brother, Bruce (Nancy). Scott will be remembered for his dedication to helping others, his commitment to education and service, and the deep love he had for his family. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
