Scott was a World War II veteran, serving in the US Army Air Corp as a tail gunner in a B-24 bomber. He flew 23 missions, three after being shot down in enemy territory.

Mr. Scott owned several textile operations in the Graham/Burlington area during his career. He was very active in the community, serving on the Board of Directors of The Bank of Alamance and First Union National Bank. He was a founding Member of the Burlington Day School and a charter member of the Alamance Country Club. Mr. Scott was also very involved in his church, the Church of the Holy Comforter, serving on the Vestry for many years.

An avid sportsman, Mr. Scott loved duck hunting with his sons and friends at Currituck Sound and on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. He also loved to hunt quail and dove and enjoyed fishing at his beloved Nags Head. He also enjoyed his men's lunch group of many years, the ROMEO's.

His main passion above anything else was his family. He was a devoted husband to his wife of 59 years, Dorothy. He was a loving father and grandfather to his four children and nine grandchildren. Generous to a fault, fun loving and kind to all, he was a true Southern Gentleman.
