Born in Pottstown, PA, on June 12, 1947, Scott was the son of the late C. Roy Bush and Elvira V. (Huzzard) Bush.
Scott graduated from Pottstown High School in 1965 and attended Millersville University. Scott spent his career in sales including real estate, over 25 years as a freight salesman, and finally as a car salesman at Piazza Honda. Scott found his greatest joy in the simple pleasures of life. A die-hard fan of Philadelphia sports, he could often be found cheering on the Phillies, Eagles, and Sixers, as well as rooting for the Penn State Nittany Lions and the East Stroudsburg Warriors football teams. Off the field, Scott spent countless hours umpiring baseball and as a basketball referee for 30 years, embodying his love for the games. Scott spent many years coaching his daughters slow pitch softball team, even taking them to states. Scott was an extremely talented lefthanded scratch golfer who won many tournaments; he proudly held the course record at Gilbertsville Golf Club since 1999. His leisure time was filled with activities like fishing and testing his luck at the slot machines during his trips to Atlantic City and Las Vegas. However, amidst all his hobbies, nothing compared to the warmth and happiness he felt when surrounded by his family, especially his cherished grandchildren. He will be deeply missed by all who had the opportunity to know him.
