Scott enjoyed going camping and taking weekend trips to new places with Renee. He was a faithful Chicago Bears Fan, avid sport spectator and an amazing coach to his kids when they were young. Scott was a hard worker and blessed to have the dream job of doing what he loved, which was working on cars. He liked to hang out with his sister and friends down at Brockhaus Bar & Grill. Scott had the ability to make others feel important and he would stop whatever he was doing to help someone else out. His favorite title was Papa Scott, and his four grandkids meant the world to him.
