Scott Cristofori Obituary

Cristofori, Scott
Aug 21, 1959 - Nov 4, 2018
Scott Gerard Cristofori unexpectedly passed away November 4, 2018 at the Vascular Trauma Center of Tampa General Hospital. Scott was the son of Charline C. Cristofori of Seminole, FL and the late Lt. Col. Ronald O. Cristofori of North Port, FL and Wellesley MA. Scott is also survived by his sister Charon Cristofori of Tampa, sister Carla Cristofori and brother-in-law Richard Williams of Madeira Beach, his niece Alessandra C. Leith of Atlanta, GA, his many cherished cousins, and the love of his life, Rosemary Pagillo of Sarasota.
He attended Caesar Rodney High School in Wyoming, DE and Melbourne High School in Melbourne, FL. After moving to Clearwater, he graduated from the Pinellas Technical Education Center in 1991. He worked as Services Director for Greystar Property Management (Sarasota) for many years. South Oxford Management then employed him until he died.
Scott was a gifted renaissance man who meticulously enjoyed fixing whatever was broken from computers to air conditioners to anything with a motor or moving part. He was inventive, a foodie extraordinaire and enjoyed his bass guitar. He revered Zappa, good Kentucky bourbon, his Harley and billiards with his sister and her friends. Scott took his fashion cues from no one. He was a man who sported his army boots and jeans as de rigueur for most any occasion. He was quiet unless he was looking at a poorly prepared pizza or badly blackened grouper. He was happiest when drinking good espresso with a warm blueberry muffin along with his many mates while discussing science fiction, bad movies and bitcoin. Scott Cristofori will be missed. All those he leaves behind love him and treasure their halcyon days. Light a candle or tip a Jack Daniels in his memory.
