Richard Lee Scott, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and cherished member of the community, passed away on April 20, 2024, in Columbus, Ohio. Born on August 27, 1952, in Lakewood, Ohio, Richard was the son of Anna M. Jones and John A. Scott.
Richard's life was one marked by love, dedication, and unwavering support for his family. He was a devoted husband to his wife, Pamela Gerbeth Scott, finding true happiness and fulfillment in her love. He lovingly supported his children, Tim (Antonio) Scott, Laura (Lars) Larson, and Brian (Jessica) Scott, as they pursued their dreams and aspirations, guiding them with gentle wisdom and support throughout their journeys. His grandchildren, Edie, Ian, and Josie, held a special place in his heart, and Richard found immense joy in their presence, always eager to spend time with them, share stories, and witness their growth and adventures.
Richard was a man of many talents and passions. A graduate of Lakewood High School in 1969 and The Ohio State University with a degree in Engineering in 1973, he dedicated his professional life as a Senior Scientist at Chemical Abstracts. He was also an active member of St. Paul Lutheran Church and the Woodworkers of Central Ohio, where he found community and fulfillment in sharing his interests and skills with others.
In addition to his immediate family, Richard is survived by his sisters, Gail (Jim) Schilke and Faye (George) Kelly, his brother, Kris (Joanne) Scott, and a large extended family including aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews. He was preceded in death by his brother, Paul (Diane) Scott.
A memorial service to celebrate Richard's life will be held at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Westerville, Ohio, at a later date, where friends, family, and community members will come together to honor his memory and the impact he had on those around him.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to The James Fund for Life to support cancer research and treatment development, a cause close to Richard's heart.
Richard Lee Scott will be deeply missed but forever remembered for his kindness, generosity, and the profound love he shared with his family and friends. May his legacy continue to inspire those whose lives he touched.
