Harry Scott Scruggs

He was my teacher at West Charlotte and was one of the coolest teachers there was! He introduced me to my best friend buying a Ramadan when we were in after school detention and he was a joy and he helped me through the most tough time of my senior year. He will be missed but never forgotten condolences to the family.

My sincere condolences to Kelly, Claude and Meg.

I haven't been able to get Scott off my mind since I heard the news last Wednesday. How can I be so rattled by the loss of someone I haven't seen in so many years? Kelly and Mike have kept me updated on the latest news so I was aware of the plans for the beauty salon and the health issues. But I had a profound visceral reaction when I saw the news which was posted by a fellow musician.

It has shaken loose some old...

On behalf of the Absher family; Tommy, Rob, Heather, Auburn and Hugh, we send condolences and love to Meg, Kelly and Eric on the passing of Scott...a special man, husband, brother and Scruggs cousin whose fond memory will always be with us. Even though it has been several years it seems like yesterday that Marianne and I ran into Scott at the Metrolina FM one Sunday afternoon and had a blast talking antiques and old collectibles, and catching up on respective family news. Please know that we...

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy and condolences to Meg, Kelly, Claude, and the Scruggs family. Through our mutual friend, Mike Arrowood, I met Scott, his brothers, and Meg when I was a student at UNCC in the early 1980s, and I have very fond memories of him. I saw Scott play in Radio Reach and The Streets, and I was always impressed with his talent. Scott was a man of great insight, and I am very fortunate to have known him.

I was so very shocked and saddened to hear the news of Mr. Scruggs passing. He made a true impact on mine and AJ's life during our time at TJCA. He brought so much light to the world. I will cherish his friendly and calm nature. He will be truly missed by all. I always looked forward to seeing Scott and Meg in Ingles when I would return back home to visit. Sending love and prayers to Mrs. Masterman and Scott's family. He was a good one!

So sorry for your loss. Always admired this Scruggs family.

Scott was a great poet and singer. I had the honor of having him proofread a couple of my books I wrote back in the early '90s. I have fond memories of him and I discussing music as he was very knowledgeable. He will be greatly missed.

Dearest Meg:
Our hearts are so heavy over the the loss of Scott. He will be remembered always as a very dear friend, a loving husband to you, and as a legendary teacher at Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy. What you and Scott did for so many young adults for 20 years in Henrietta can never be forgotten. We know that Scott has stored up his treasure in heaven, as every mind that he inspired in his teaching career is a glimmering treasure awaiting him. We will always love and honor...

Scott was always the essence of “cool” in high school and was the same Scott when I learned he would teach my children at TJCA. Always connecting with friends and students, he had a calm spirit, a quick wit and a love of Rock. Meg was the perfect one for him. I am so heartbroken to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you,
