Scott was a 1978 graduate of Xavier High School in Middletown, CT.

During his time at KVFC, he met the love of his life, Annette. They were married on July 12, 1980, at the same fire house, and shared a life together in Killingworth and Taftville, where they went on to raise their three children.

Along with his loving wife of 43 years, Scott leaves behind his children Scott (Jr.) and Crystal Reynolds, Megan (Reynolds) and Dave Gardner, Samantha (Reynolds) and Anthony Restivo, and his grandson Trenton Reynolds.
