Mr. Scott was born in a little clinic in Old Hickory, TN, attended the only schools in Old Hickory at that time (DuPont Elementary and DuPont High School), and worked as a pipefitter at DuPont for thirty-seven years before retiring.
Mr. Scott can be characterized as never having met a stranger and always put everyone around him at ease. He was always happy and loved to tell jokes to make others laugh. He “loved with his whole heart.” Mr. Scott was a Christian and loved the Lord he served. He and his wife were members of Metro Baptist Church in Goodlettsville.
Among his many interests and accomplishments, Mr. Scott was a Past Master of the Old Hickory Lodge #598 F&AM and was the Worthy Grand Patron of the Grand Chapter of Tennessee Order of the Easter Star in 2009. In his spare time, he enjoyed playing golf – and when he wasn’t playing it, he enjoyed watching it on the television.
