In all, Scott was a resident of Orange County for over 35 years living in both Chester, NY and Goshen, NY working for PDJ Components and area businesses in various capacities. Known for his quiet demeanor, good nature, and gentle spirit, Scott enjoyed seeing his family during the Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas holidays where he would feast on home-cooked meals. He was particularly fond of racing and motorsports, especially NASCAR, and kept a collection of racing and other sports-related memorabilia. Never one to ask for assistance or accept a handout from others, Scott was hard-working and self-reliant.
