Scott was a member of The Lake Placid Baptist Church, a volunteer for the Lake Placid Ambulance squad, and volunteered at Uhilein Mercy Center in Lake Placid. He loved his job at Price Chopper in Lake Placid where you would always get a hug from him on your way out. Scott always seemed to remember family's birthdays and family was a very important part of his life. He loved being with family during all of the holidays and on special trips. Whenever we went to the Great Escape in Lake George, Scott would ask to go with us. His favorite ride was the comet and then you have to wonder why because he was always praying for us to make it to the end. He just loved the company and food while he was there. Scott liked to fish, hunt, he loved animals, he loved playing and entertaining all of the small children in his life, and watching crime shows on TV whenever he could. He was a really good bowler and loved to be outside playing summer games with us. Scott was a strong believer in God and therefore he shared his faith about God to anyone he could and he served him well. Scott loved to fellowship with people especially at pot luck dinners. He was always participating in his church activities and helping others within a church. Scott will be remembered for his smile, sense of humor, willingness to help anyone, for his love to his family and friends, and for his faith in his Savior.
