Thomas Dudley Scott Sr.

He was a graduate of Louisville Male High School and the University of Louisville. He served his country as a Captain in the United States Air Force in the Korean War and the Kentucky Air National Guard.

During his long career as the Advertising Director of the Creasey Company of Kentucky, Tom also pursued his love for The Arts as a watercolor artist and teacher for JCPS Continuing Education Program, Highland Community Ministries, Bellarmine Professional Studies and the Art Spirit Class at Crescent Hill Baptist Church where he was a long time member. Tom also taught classes for the Kentucky Watercolor Society of which he was a founding member. His teaching and his watercolor paintings were a lifelong passion.

He viewed his talent as a “gift that is fulfilled in helping others to recognize and express their own unique gifts."

Tom was preceded in death by his parents and younger brother Jim Scott. He is survived by his wife of 68 years, Patricia Shipp Scott, his brother Jerry L. Scott (Martha), son Tom Scott, Jr. (Karen), daughters Beth Ryan (Jim) and Pam Wolford (Roger). Also surviving are six grandchildren; Hannah Fischer (Will), Leah Hunt (Jarrod), Lauren Johnson (Daniel), Libby Hill (Patrick), Jackson and Brenton Wolford and 10 great-grandchildren.
