Hey Pat, I know it's been a year since his Passing but I just wanted to say when I heard that he had passed back in 2020 it was very sad for me not just because a church member died but it was kind of like a friend died for me if that makes any sense he was a great man

Leanne and I are so sorry to have missed this, just today heard about his passing. Truly one of the nicest, kindest people I ever met.

Tom was my first boss at the Creasey Company. His knowledge, compassion and many stories helped mold much of my life and career. His outlook on life and the joy he shared with his family and friends was an inspiration for all of us. He will be dearly missed at our monthly lunches on the first Thursday of the month at Frisch's.  Hit em straight on those fairways in Heaven old friend. No more three putts! Rest in Peace dear friend.

Julie and I are saddened to learn of Tom's passing. What a wonderful person of faith he was, and his legacy of compassion and kindness is always with us.  Tom and Pat were our Sunday School teachers at Crescent Hill Baptist some years ago, and we have several of his watercolors in our home - forever a reminder of his artistic gifts.  
Our sympathy and prayers are with Pat and all his family.

Tom Scott and Pat were some of the first people at CHBC I met in 1969.  Tom was always so loving and respectful of everyone. I never heard him utter a negative word. 
Artists are introverts, but that didn't stop Tom from loving each person he encountered. He walked the Jesus talk. When I think of him, I think of a warm heart open to welcome me.
I took a watercolor painting class and he was graciousness itself to someone with no depth perception or talent. But he always had a suggestion, never a criticism.
Today, I will just play with color from grandkids' shelf. and remember Tom. God keep each and every one of you close this day as you celebrate a life well-lived with all he knew.

Deepest Condolences to Pat, Martha, Jerry, and all of the other members of the Scott clan. Dudley was a fine fellow and talented artist; and too many years have passed since we played enjoyable pickup games in Charley Kebsch's  back yard on Claremont, or futilely attempted to outdrive Jimmy on the Crescent Hill golf course. Unforgettable memories! 
Sincerely,
Bob Durning  
 



Tom was such a special person. He enriched many lives just by knowing him. He shared his love and talent for watercolor to many of us. I will be eternally grateful to have been one of his students and feel fortunate to have had him in my life.  It is quite a loss to so many in the Louisville area.  My sincere condolences to Pat and his family. 

Mr. Scott is one of the nicest warmest persons I’ve ever met. He always had a smile whenever I would run into him throughout the years. My condolences to his wonderful family.

My sincere condolences to Pat and all of the family Scott. Though I only knew Tom a few years I will cherish his memory and hold him in my heart as long as I remain on this side of the grass. God bless you all.

Dear Uncle Tom! What blessing and joy you brought into our young lives when our families were able to spend time together having so much fun. You so tickled us with your sweet, funny sayings. You were always a tender ear for us to speak with, an encourager and a loving example of a Godly man. I’m looking forward to being able to spend much more time with you in Glory.
Aunt Pat, Craig and I will be keeping you and all our cousins and families in prayer for God to keep you wrapped in His loving arms of consolation, comfort and grace. Sending love and hugs. Jeanie (Jean Anne)

For my beloved sister, Pat, and all the precious children, spouses, grands and great grands- I cannot attempt to imagine how much you all are going to miss our dear Tom. I find comfort in remembering all the good times we had when we were young-visiting back and forth and having wonderful vacations together. Pat, your and Tom’s long, joy-filled marriage and family life has been an inspiration to many. I visualize Tom now painting glorious landscapes in Heaven’s own gorgeous watercolors with a masterfully designed golf course close by. A scripture we can bank on at this time is in Isaiah - that the Lord will give us beauty for ashes and the oil of joy for mourning. Also, that we, who are in Christ Jesus will be together forever throughout Eternity! How long is forever folks? Lovingly, Barbara

What a wonderful teacher Tom was. He always had a kind word for anyone’s work. And he was very patient and caring. I will miss him so much.


Though I live hundreds of miles away from Louisville, Uncle Tom has had a powerful influence on my life. Such a warm, loving man of God. 

I remember seeing him in his capacity as deacon. He conveyed such a genuine love to those he greeted those Sunday’s I got to observe him in church.  He always shared his love, his delightful sense of humor and joy with me as well. 

As a boy, I loved traveling to Louisville with my family to visit Aunt Pat, Uncle Tom and all the Scott cousins.  And our families would vacation together, too. I can still see Uncle Tom with his easel and watercolors, capturing breathtaking pictures at Shafer Lake—one of our family vacation spots.

Uncle Tom’s life, work, and teaching has touched so many people. His is a powerful legacy. His loss hurts, but there is joy in what he gifted us all even as we know he awaits us now in Heaven.

We have such wonderful, warm memories of Tom and his gentle loving spirit.  We cherish his Advent painting (1989) "There Shall Come Forth" that he gifted us when we moved 30 years ago.  Love and prayers to Pat and all of the family and we hope you will find comfort and grace during the days ahead.

Dan and Jo Ellen Aleshire


An incredibly talented and blessed family man! We are so incredibly honored to have a piece of his legacy hanging in our home!

Continued prayers for his family and friends🙏
