Scott was an avid fisherman and loved watching sports. His ideal day was to take the family fishing on Lake Shelbyville and finish the evening off with grilling and a baseball game. He was a huge St. Louis Cardinals, St. Louis Blues, Chicago Bears, and University of Illinois sports fan. Most importantly, he loved spending time with his family. Scott was a loving husband and cherished being a father and grandfather.
