 Jim
Scott, 70, of Lancaster, PA and Sarasota, FL died unexpectedly
April 21, 2011 in Sarasota. He was born in Pittsburgh, the son of
the late James H. and Emeline McKennan Scott.
Jim was
married to his wife, Linda, for 41 years. In addition to his wife,
he is survived by two sons: Michael Scott, husband of Lisa Scott
and Patrick Scott, partner of Jessi Walsh; three grandchildren:
Alexis, Skylar and Mason; his sister Mathilda Painter, two nieces
and one nephew.
He was a
graduate of Kiski School, Saltsburg, Pa and attended the
University of Pittsburgh. In his early years in Pittsburgh, he
was a garbage man, a steel mill worker, and a car salesman. From
then on, he was always in sales and marketing. In the late 1970s,
he went into business for himself, acquiring The Dyer Company,
which today sells its specialty measuring gauges nationwide and in
several countries. Having an entrepreneurial spirit, he was also
involved in numerous ventures over the years.
Jim loved
playing golf with his friends in Lancaster and Sarasota, and
“never had a bad day on the golf course.” He was as avid fan of
Pitt sports as well as an enthusiastic “spokesman” for the city
and the University. In addition, you could always find him in the
front row at various Lancaster Catholic and Hempfield games.
Jim will be
remembered for his outgoing, kind and thoughtful nature and his
positive attitude. He seldom looked back, always believing that
“his best was good enough.”
Friends will
be received on Friday, May 13, 2011 from 9-10AM at St. Mary’s
Catholic Church, 119 S. Prince St., Lancaster, PA, with the Mass
of Christian Burial to follow at 10AM, the Rev. Leo Goodman as
Celebrant. Interment will be private and at the convenience of the
family. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jim’s memory may be made
