Scott had many interests. He was a lifelong IU, Colts, and Dodgers fan. He loved to watch sports, listen to music and go to concerts, work with his plants, go boating, and most of all play with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Scott enjoyed traveling and watching travel shows. When he was home, he was always snuggling with his beloved cats and dogs. Those who love Scott agree that no one was more kind, generous, or tender-hearted.
