Before retiring, he was employed at Central Academy of Technology & Arts, Monroe, NC as a Guidance Counselor and drivers’ education instructor. He also spent many summer weeks at UNC’s summer program for college-bound students in the role of RA. He enjoyed the energetic atmosphere of working with youth and was fulfilled by the opportunity to instruct/help them. This same joy fueled his love for his family and friends. Scott loved auto racing, especially Formula 1. Even after more than 45 years of residence in NC, he still considered himself a Yankee at heart.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.
