James R. Scott

Worked for him in the early 80's. Was a very kind Man with a great sense of humor! David Levy

Dear Marilyn,

I just read about Jim's passing. My prayers are with you and your family. He was a wonderful man. He was a junior in veterinary school when I was a freshman. His mentorship as I adjusted to the rigors of vet school was very helpful to me.

Sincerely,
John Purdue

Like those who have left comments here and many, many others, Jim touched my life and left a lifelong impression. Along with Charlie Sink, Jim mentored me as a student extern at their South Holland (IL) Veterinary Hospital in 1974, teaching life skills as well as the technical side of veterinary medicine. I will be forever indebted and grateful to have known Jim, one of the most caring, compassionate people to have walked this earth. We will miss him but we are better for the privilege of...

Marilyn, I was so shocked to hear of Jim's passing. He seemed so healthy at our last class of 62 reunion and I was so looking forward to seeing both of you again this year. We shared a lot of good memories through school days and our families farming together. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

You both have meant so much over the years to our family. Jim was a long-term "anchor" for the church and always a...

I remember Jim well from our time on the third floor of the Dover Co-op House. Jim was in the south room, while I was in the north. Wonderful person and without a doubt, the most studious individual I encountered at Purdue. Looking back at the 60's, I can recall my desire to become a Vet. but as I told at least one individual, in recounting my time at Purdue, pre-vet was too tough for me and I could see the handwriting on the wall so I switched over to Krannert. I did eventually become a...

Jim was an inspiration to many of us at Dover. He led by example, and what a great example it was. Many of us owe him for kindness and understand that he extended to us while at Dover. We will be forever grateful.
