He worked at several of the local aluminum plants, the last was Northwest Aluminum, in The Dalles until its closure. At that time he went to work for Home Depot until his retirement.
Scott loved to travel, especially when he and Koni went to Ireland. He loved the Oregon Coast and spent several vacations every year in Wheeler, Newport, Depoe Bay, and all along the coast. His hobbies were crossword puzzles, Cajun cooking, antiquing, collecting Carnival glass, and stained glass, fly fishing, listening to old rock and roll music, and cruising in his truck in the Mt Hood forests around Dufur. Scott enjoyed being a “foodie”, and always enjoyed a dark cold ale or brew. He was a very intelligent, interesting person who was kind and quiet. He will be greatly loved and missed by his family and friends.
