Ronald Scott Obituary
Born March 3, 1950 the son on Lee Scott and Lucille (Montgomery) Scott in Kirksville, MO. On August 20, of 1979 he married Margaret Lee Snidow and to this union two sons were shared.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents; both parents; his brother, Laverne Scott and sister, Marilyn Sherman.
Ron is survived by his loving and devoted wife, Margaret Scott of Harris, Mo.; sons, Tom Jacobs (Sara) of Spickard, MO., Jeremy Scott (Jillian) of Boston, MA; three grandchildren, Brooke, Rory and J.T. and Owen; one great grandchild, Ru; many nieces, nephews and cousins along with his faith full forever friend Hemi.
Ron grew up in Adair county, graduated high school from Novinger R-1 class of 1968. He attended Northeast Missouri state college now known at Truman State in Kirksville for two years and went on to be employed with the college in the maintenance department. He worked for the college in Kirksville for 15 years and transferred to Maryville University in Chesterfield, Mo. to head their maintenance and Energy management system for the entire college. After spending eighteen years in the city, he and his wife decided it was time to retire and in 2001 returned to Northeast Missouri.
A master of miscellaneous, perfectionist and a man with unlimited talents. There were not many things that Ron could not do, fix or create. One of his greatest challenges was tearing down a 200-year-old log cabin and rebuilding it piece by piece to perfection on their farm in Harris, Missouri. He was a very quiet, good hearted man and true love for building and rebuilding hot-rods. He has received numerous awards with his hot rods and always enjoyed traveling to cars shows and enjoying cruise nights with his wife.
Ron's wishes were for a simple cremation with A Simplified Funeral in Green Castle and no services.
The family will be planting a memorial oak tree at a later date to celebrate and honor Ron's character, strength, loyalty and courage.
Memorials are suggested to the Green Castle Labor Day Car Show or the Princeton Calamity Jane Car Show and can be mailed to A Simplified Funeral Solution PO Box 57 Green Castle, MO 63544.

I worked with Ron for 8 years at Maryville and knew him for 15 years with doing work with an outside contractor. A very kind man who would take the time to teach you the right way to do things without hawking over your shoulder. I actually helped him take part of that log cabin down. He by far was the best boss I ever had, and one of the easiest to get along with. He will be missed by many and may his spirit live on for his family. Thanks for all you did for me Ron.
