In his free time, he enjoyed the slow pace of fishing, never in a rush for a big catch. He watched golf, racing, and baseball, cheering on the Tribe. He enjoyed photography in his period of working for the Tribune. Most of all, Scott loved his family and he was excellent at showing his love for them. He was always in tune with them and provided a hug, a laugh or quality time when they needed it. It's the small and big moments of laughter he brought to their lives that will always remember.
