Scott's gift to remember details enabled him to grow friendships worldwide. He loved spending time with his family and friends, especially when it involved golfing, boating, skiing, or music. He was a member of both Patterson Country Club in Fairfield and Shelter Harbor Golf Club in Charlestown, RI. Boat runs to Block Island from the family's Charlestown vacation home, hanging out on Quonnie beach each summer, and skiing at Mount Snow in Vermont in the winter were among his favorite past times. He enjoyed concerts, regularly taking in shows at the Fairfield Theater Company. Scott's greatest life passion was for his family and friends, all of whom he loved dearly.
