Wow, where should I start. 
Thank you for all the pictures of Peter I enjoyed them very much. I knew Peter from Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Out of all other residents he was the only one that knew my name. I'll cherish my last time w/Peter and that was June 3rd. I'll miss his kindness and his smile.  I'll remember him forever, he was one of the good guys.

As the social worker at Our Lady of Perpetual Help I had the pleasure of getting to speak with Peter almost daily.  He would come to my office after lunch and we had so many delightful conversations about politics, current events and life in general.  He challenged me and had this humble way of acting like my thoughts were just as insightful as his.  He downplayed his intelligence and seemed to be on a perpetual quest for more knowledge.  Peter was truly an inspiration and I am grateful for the opportunity I had to get to know him.

I met Peter when he was living at Lady of Perpetual Help.. I am sorry I did not have the pleasure of knowing him before he entered Lady, but in the short time I knew him, I knew that he was a special man. He truly made an impression on me as we talked about his love for photography and most of all his love for the USA.
Peter, you will be missed.

Dr Scop supported us in Air Force Special Operations during a phase of Flight Tests in the late 80's.  His work saved lives during the first and second Iraq wars.  We owe him and the fine people at DIA very much.  God Bless Dr Scop, his family, and coworkers.  Major (ret) Rickey Gentry, US AFSOC.

Brother-in-law Peter , your nightly phone calls for the last 45 years will be dearly missed. The silence will be deafening.

You had a special way of talking to a person on their level. For instance you would ask me for my advice on a photography question, as if I could even come close to your knowledge on that subject.

You valued each and every one of your large family, giving help and advice as needed. 

 Heaven has received a very special gift of your presence .

Dr Peter Scop was a kind man. I worked with him from the time he arrived At DIA until we both retired. He always gave encouraging counsel and support to me even when we had differences of opinion. I learned much from my friend Peter and miss him. I am a better person because of his outlook and understanding of our professional responsibilities. Rest In Peace . Tom

It was my privilege to have been associated with Dr. Scop for almost two decades.  Our relationship was professional, but I considered him a friend as well.  Pete always had keen insight and a unique sense of humor which I enjoyed.  He was always straightforward in his dealings and could always be trusted.  He will be missed!

Uncle Pete was my favorite. The smartest and most deliberate thinker I ever met. He inspired my obsession with data, which is an instrumental skill I use daily throughout my entire career. The majority of his priceless service to our country will remain unknown, just the way Pete liked it. Rest in peace, brilliant, modest giant. We all love you.

Dr. Peter Pete Scop, who was a supervisory intelligence officer with the Defense Intelligence Agency, Washington, DC for 25 years, died June 5 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Virginia Beach, VA.
Dr. Scop began working at DIA in 1975 as Chief of the Command, Control, and Communications Branch of the Science and Technology Directorate.  His leadership gained considerable acclaim for his group's wide variety of contributions in threat analyses of Soviet air defenses, anti-ballistic missile systems, anti-submarine warfare, ICBM capabilities, electronic warfare; and other. In 1982 Dr. Scop formed an interagency intelligence team to ascertain that U.S. test facilities employed simulated air defense C3 systems that accurately portrayed threats.   Dr. Scop led this effort until his retirement in March 2000.   For these contributions and others Dr. Scop was awarded the DIA Torch Bearer Award in 2012.  This is an award for making a significant and lasting contribution to defense intelligence that embodies the agency's core values and principles.
Dr. Scop was born and raised in Lakewood, New Jersey. He attended public schools and upon graduation attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  At MIT he earned a BS in 1959 and a PhD in 1964; both degrees were in physics.  Dr. Scop then joined the staff of the National Research Corporation where he contributed to the discovery of light-weight, bullet-proof vests worn by U.S. Army personnel in Viet Nam, with considerable success.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

My grandfather, the smartest person that I have ever met.  

We will miss him terribly.

Love, 

Kim, Stuart, Jory, Ashley, Brandon and Sean
