David SCOTT Obituary
Born in Beavercreek, to John M. and Ruth Scott, Dave was raised there with his sister, Susan Hibbits Carpenter (deceased) and twin brother, Robert Scott. His childhood began his love for hunting, fishing, and the great outdoors. A proud graduate of The Ohio State University School of Horticulture 1962, Dave married his perfect match and partner in adventure, Susan (Anderson) Scott. Five years were spent in Colorado, where he started his career and welcomed his daughters Caryn (John) Tomoser and Pamela (Jeremy) Humble.
On his return to Ohio, he re-joined his father and brother to help run and develop their business from wholesale grower Knollwood Florist to the Knollwood Garden Center we know today, now led by the third generation. Through all this time, he enjoyed traveling North America, particularly Alaska and the Southwest, and spending time (mowing) at the family property in Athens, Ohio. As retirement allowed, he also enjoyed his many great friends, volunteering at the USAF Museum, and his work with the Beaver Creek Wetlands.
Sharing his interests with Susie, Cary, Pamela, and his much loved grandsons, McAllister and Taggart Humble was his greatest joy. He is already greatly missed by all of them, as well as his in-laws, nieces and nephews around the world. Services will be private; donations gratefully accepted in his name to the Beaver Creek Wetlands Association.

I met the Scotts when I was hired at Knollwood Garden Center in Beavercreek in 1994. I really enjoyed working for/with them the three years I spent in their employ. Dave was rather stoic and reminded so much of my own father, I couldn´t resist pulling some mild practical jokes, often aided and abetted by his wife... telling him I used the different colors of flowers to spell risqué words in the flower beds (he went out to check), showing up with my arm in a sling to wrap poinsettias (he didn´t want to tell me to go home, but he didn´t want to pay me to wrap one poinsettia per hour either). He was SO relieved to find out there was nothing wrong with my arm. Showing up with a *fake* nose ring... (facial jewelry was not permitted on the sales floor at the time). Telling him "finders keepers, losers weepers" when I found his family heirloom pocketknife near the bulk grass seed bins. I returned it immediately when he made it clear it wouldn´t be going anywhere without him, lol! I also carved his face (and Bob´s) onto pumpkins when he told me to carve scary faces for a store display.
Dave and my husband, Steve, often had in-depth discussions about the Ohio State Buckeyes and what they could be doing better as a team, lol!
I have so many great memories from my time working with all the Scotts and you all have my deepest condolences for your loss.
