So sorry to hear of Bobs passing…he had a contagious smile and personality that surely will be missed…my thoughts and prayers to my extended family..
Uncle Bob you are one of the main reasons for my entrepreneurial spirit and pursuits today and I think & thank you for that. You will be missed by many but can rest assured you will be remembered by many more for your personality, great family you built, as well as your generosity. Love you nephew, Christopher
Lit a candle in memory of Robert J. Scott
It was a pleasure knowing Mr. Scott. And I know he needs no big bell were he is now, unless he is seeing how fast they will respond. Then laughing He Will be missed
Bobby Scott
I met Bob when he moved across the street in 1986, what a neighbor. Anytime we had an emergency he wanted to help. When Hurricane Mitch hit Honduras, Bob helped with a donation to get a trailer full of emergency needs to Honduras. General Medina honored him with a Certificate of Appreciation. When I had my problems He would listen and advise. We looked after each other. If he did not see me, he would call. Bob, Esthela, my family miss you. Rest in Peace, we will take care of Paula, love mi amigo.
Bob was always known in our family as "Great Scott." What we will always remember most about him is that he loved a venture and was a go-getter. He was a born leader and he helped to lead us all. His calling card was the bubbling enthusiasm he took with him, no matter where he went. I recall the time in the 80's… that he organized a diverse group of young people from the Red Coconut to win an unexpected victory. He pumped us up to compete in a series of athletic contests…right on the beach. He bought us all matching Bermuda shorts and cotton tees. He rode us all to the beach in an electric van and we all popped out of it…cheering and hoping that we did not humiliate ourselves and Bob. No worries, we took the trophy easily, just as Bob had planned for us to. He always was like that… believed in people when they did not always believe in themselves. This is only one small glimpse and little story. I could tell many. However, let us just say this… I bet they have not seen a New Year's Eve in heaven like the one the other night…in decades! Whatever he did, he did it big. He was not one to give something a stab or try, he just did it and usually, in a great big way. He was the Great Scott and he will be missed by us!
