After graduating from Walpole High School, he became a machinist.

Scott enjoyed donating his time to help others. Such as working with the Boy Scouts, fire department and football boosters. Scott was a Scoutmaster for Cub Scout pack 375 for many years. His favorite Boy Scout events were the rocket launch, pinewood derby and cake auction. Scott was an avid outdoorsman and his love for guns and machining was the perfect mix for a gunsmith. He turned his passion into a business when he moved to Maine.
He was loved when he was with us and will be missed. In lieu of flowers donations in Scott’s name can be made to the National Park Service or to the American Cancer Society.
