He married Cheryl Bryan, also of Clearfield, PA, on November 19, 1977. They lived in Columbus, Ohio for ten years before moving to South Carolina in 1988.
He was an active member of Covenant Church where he enjoyed weekly Men’s Bible Study. Scott had been very involved in missions locally, including Homes of Hope, Habitat for Humanity, area soup kitchens, and the Good News Club. In addition to local missions, he felt privileged to serve as part of several international mission trip teams. While in El Salvador, Scott had the opportunity to meet the child he and Cheryl have supported through Compassion International. Scott also loved serving as a youth counselor and mentor at Covenant.
Scott was an avid hiker and biker, as well as a long-time member of the Eastside YMCA. He loved to travel, especially after retiring in 2013 from a 25-year career as distribution manager at Bausch and Lomb. Scott graduated from Pennsylvania State University in 1977. Scott was kind, caring, and took interest in others, making friends everywhere he went. He became an advocate for the ALS community after being diagnosed with ALS in 2021.
