Called the “Silent Volunteer,” Scott would assist Lisa with Helping Hands and Rebel Elves; whether it was fielding phone calls, organizing paperwork, or giving up space in his garage. He was also an avid Chicago Bears and St. Louis Cardinals fan. Music was important to Scott and was always listening to Rock-n-Roll or the Blues. He was deeply loved and will be greatly missed. Cremation rites have been accorded and no services are planned at this time. Arrangements have been entrusted with Hurd-Hendricks Funeral Homes and Crematory, Knoxville.
