Edwin Denzil Scott came into this world September 15, 1946 - a miracle baby loaned by God to Orie Edwin and Kathryn Maxine Scott of Kansas City, Missouri.

Eddie graduated from North Kansas City High School in 1964, Carleton College in 1968, and Michigan Law School in 1971. He couldn’t wait to get to New York City to begin his law career in a Wall Street law firm. Eddie lived and thrived in New York City for over 50 years. He was serving as Chief Council for KPMG when he retired. He returned to Kansas City in 2022 to be with family.

Eddie’s passion was traveling the world, which he accomplished through his many domestic and international work projects and personal explorations. He found his way to Europe, Asia, Australia, as well to all points of the USA. Eddie was a proud AA Recovering Alcoholic for 24 years.
