My prayers go out to The Scott family at this time. I just found out about the passing of Mr. Scott. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you all. I will always hold dear the fond and fun memories I have of him. The dedication the Scotts had to The Music Parents Association is beyond measure. I will always remember our trip To New York City and most of all The entire Scott family for making my musical experience at E.B.H.S. a memorable one. Love and prayers to you all.

We want you to know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time. Mr. Scott was a wonderful man who made sure to take a moment to speak with me (after church)when we were visiting Pat & Howard. Gary speaks of him often when he is recalling his scouting adventures.

We previously signed this guest book
but I just wanted to recall something about Bill that I neglected to mention in my first entry. Back several years ago, my
husband and I had the fortune to have 3 wonderful Basset Hounds in our lives. We thought of them as our "kids". Bill would often stop me in the halls at work and always
would inquire about the dogs, which I always thought was so very nice of him to do. He was always genuinely concerned; it was very
obvious of that. He would so often speak of his children by name that
although I did never get to meet any of them, I still felt as if I knew them all as they were growing up. The world has lost a very
special person. Our deepest sympathy to you all.

To the Scott Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Mr. Scott as a wonderful, quiet man. I hold dear the NY trip where he was my chaperone walking up and down 5th Avenue and then taking us to FAO Schwarz. He will be missed.
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

Cindy, Tom, Jen, Amy, and Megan - I was completely speechless when Mike called me and told me Mr. Scott had passed. I still don't know what to say now. He was a great mentor to me through my Scouting years and a good friend through the EBHS music years. I have many fond memories of him on camping trips, all learning experiences. I will remember him always. My thoughts are with all of you, I wish I could be there in person this weekend. Bill Scott will be greatly missed!

Dear Cindy & Family,

I was so shocked to get this news. Bill was such a nice man with a big heart and quiet demeanor. So many great memories of scouting and music parents' events with the kids.

To the Scott Family:
You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Mr. Scott was a wonderful man who I will miss terribly. Knowing your family for over 30 years has caused me to reflect these past few days. I have nothing but great memories of Mr. Scott, whether it was scouts, church, or the backyard games at Pond St. He always took an interest in asking about others. I will miss our talks in the vestry after church... He was very proud of each of you and knew what you were doing all the time. Simply put, he was the Best. I love you all and may God Bless each of you. I am here for whatever you need.

To Bill's family, I am very sorry for your loss. I worked with Bill at MassHighway and on many occasions had conversations with him. He always would talk about his children. He was very proud.
I used to live in East Bridgewater and on one particular Friday I had forgotten my pocketbook at work and Bill was kind enough to bring it home for me. I appreciated this so much.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I had the pleasure of knowing and working along side Bill for several years at the District 5 office in Taunton. For a short time, I shared an office with Bill and Earle Holden. I can recall how Bill would talk about his children and grand children with great pride. What impressed me about Bill was the fact that he was always a most kind and gentle man. I will miss him.
