Bow, NH - Christopher Scott was born on August 26, 1942 in Peterborough, NH and passed away on June 6, 2024 in Boscawen, NH after a long struggle with Parkinson's disease.

Christopher grew up in Weston, MA, attended Belmont Hill School, class of 1961, and graduated from the University of Vermont, class of 1966. He also served in the US Marine Corps Reserves from 1962 to 1970, having attended basic training at Paris Island, SC and combat infantry training at Camp Lejeune, NC.

He worked for Digital Equipment Corporation in Maynard, MA from 1967 to 1969 and then in Geneva Switzerland from 1969 to 1974 as head of advertising and sales promotion for Europe. Upon his return to the US in 1975 he worked for Thermal Dynamics Corporation in Lebanon, NH. In 1978 he founded New Image Advertising in Lebanon, NH which he operated until 1983. Thereafter, Chris worked for Cuneo, Sullivan & Turner Advertising in Boston, MA. The pull of the Upper Valley brought Chris back to NH in 1986 when he founded Laserlab Electronic Graphic Design which he owned and operated in Hanover, NH. Chris also worked as creative director for Nomad Communications in Norwich, VT and as an account executive for Franklin Printing out of Farmington, ME. Chris founded CS Marketing & Design in 2001 in Concord, NH which he owned and operated until Parkinson's disease forced him to retire.

Chris was predeceased by his parents, Thomas J. Scott, II and Virginia R. Scott, and his brother, Thomas J. Scott, III, who everyone knew as Jim.

Chris is survived by his sons, Christopher C. Scott, Alexander W. Scott (wife Kathryn and daughters Hannah and Elyse), and Kevin A. Scott; stepson, Leon Gudel; partner Ann G. Hourigan; former spouses Constance A. Jones (mother to Christopher and Alexander), Janna R. Lubbers (mother to Leon and Kevin), and Carol Pierson; brothers John (wife Sage), David (wife M.J. and son Drew); sister Linell; and other nieces and nephews.

Chris was always happiest when he was on the water, either sailing, windsurfing or learning to scull (row) at age 55, becoming Treasurer and Assistant Regatta Director of the Amoskeag Rowing Club. He was an avid fan of his children's and grandchildren's sports, enthusiastically cheering them on at any chance he had.

Chris had a special place in his heart for his two Irish Terriers Zaira and Rowen and was particularly proud of Zaira for becoming a Champion in AKC Confirmation.

Services will be on Thursday, June 20th, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. at the South Congregational Church, 27 Pleasant Street, Concord, NH 03301 where Chris previously served on the Music Search Committee, as a Deacon, and enjoyed drumming in their Jazz Band. Interment will be privately held for family at the Linwood Cemetery in Weston, MA at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Michale J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research in Chris' name.
