Sunapee, NH - Scott Michael Reed died peacefully after a long struggle in UMass Memorial Hospital on May 1st, 2023 in Worcester, MA at the age of 57. He was born on November 11, 1965 in Wareham, MA and graduated from WPI in 1988 with a degree in Mathematics. He and his wife, Jennifer, were married in 1988 and enjoyed a wonderful 34 years together. During his corporate career, he was an IT executive at The Hartford, MassMutual, and AIG. In 2015, he and Jennifer purchased the Inn at Pleasant Lake in New London, NH and began their new life as innkeepers. In 2020, they purchased the New London Inn. Scott was passionate about the local community and was involved on several boards. He was also a strong supporter of the Center for the Arts and the New Hampshire Food Bank. Scott had a variety of passions and had many skills, but his biggest passion was always his family. His children remember him as a father who went above and beyond and always motivated them to achieve their dreams.
He is survived by his wife, Jennifer, and his two children, William and Abigail. He is also survived by his mother, Joyce Reed, his brother, Jeffrey, and his sister, Jennifer, as well as many nieces and nephews. Though he was taken too soon, Scott lived a full and adventurous life. He traveled the world, inspired those around him, and loved fully and completely.
A celebration of life is scheduled for this Friday, May 5th, from 1pm-3pm at the Historic Barn at the Inn at Pleasant Lake in New London, NH. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Scott’s life.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Healing Heart Hospitality House (website: https://healinghearthouse.org/) or the New Hampshire Food Bank (website: https://nhfoodbank.org/get-involved/donate/).
I knew Jennifer in high school, and met Scott in college. He was a very kind and caring person. The world Is a sadder place without him in it and I'm devastated that he is gone.

Scott and I worked together on projects at MassMutual and I enjoyed every interaction with him. A quality person with a genuine interest in people around him. No doubt, he will be missed by many who had the pleasure of knowing him.

My sincere condolences to the family. I am so sorry to hear about Scott´s passing. I was his Administrative Assistant at MassMutual for a few years. He had a great sense of humor and a really great person. He adored his family. Anita Nogueira

Dear Jen and Family, Scott and Jen have been in our prayers and thoughts since his accident and during his course of care. Both of you have extended such incredible hospitality over the years and been so welcoming and gracious to our family and my business colleagues when we visited the Inns. We are fortunate to have known both of you. God bless you and may Scott rest in peace.

I worked in Scott's org at Massmutual a few years ago. He was a great leader and a friend to many. I loved reading his Friday emails which not only reflected on all the great things happening in his organization, but he often talked about his family, his dog, his music and some of his adventures. My deepest sympathy to all who knew and loved Scott.

Scott, my little 2nd cousin, 10 yrs younger
Thinking backHis Dad, “Bo” gave him wiffle haircuts.
His Mom, “Jody”, deep love and the magic of Christmas villages
I was an occasional babysitter, observer of his boyhood antics
And heard Gramma Shirl relate stories of him at her kitchen table
Saying “That Scott! He’s smart as a whip!”
I was 18 by the time Scott was 8
Getting out of college and on with life when he was just starting
Before I knew it he was...

I just saw this news on LinkedIn - so sad. Scott and I worked together at Andersen and shared an office on a big project at Sikorsky. He was such a hard worker and so smart. We had a lot of fun during that project - fond memories. My deepest sympathies to his wife and children....

We were lucky to have known Scott, even for a short time, while our lovely daughter-in-law Julia Kormanik was the IPL Innkeeper. Scott (and Jennifer) truly stepped in to immediately assist when our son Aaron and his wife Julia moved to NH. Our deep sympathies to Jennifer and family.

Scott was a great leader he was so approachable and genuinely interested in others. I enjoyed working with Scott and for to know another side of him during the years we played in the United Way Pool Tournament. A fond memory of mine was one time when we were playing against Scott and his team. My dad played on our team. I had stepped away for something and when I returned I saw Scott and my dad chatting together and laughing. My first thought was "oh no, what's the worst possible story my dad...
