Michael Scott Obituary
Wilmington - Our beloved Michael James Scott, 67, of Wilmington, Delaware passed away on September 28, 2018 with his family by his side.
He was born to the late Mary (Hussey) and Raymond Scott in Wilmington, Delaware.
Mike was a graduate of Salesianum High School in 1970 and received a BA in Accounting from the University of Delaware in 1974. Mike was always proud of his Delaware education and said it made all the difference in his life.
He worked at the former Hercules, Inc., as a Finance Executive for 21 years and had many happy memories of the people he worked with there.
After retirement, Mike was involved as a volunteer in many community service organizations. He served as State Treasurer for Delaware's Sons of Italy for many years and received a Distinguished Service Award in 2017. Mike was also a Treasurer for the Auburn Heights Steam Engine Museum combining his love of cars and numbers. He enjoyed working with the Rehoboth Beach Buddy Walk for many years and was proud to be a member of the Dewey Beach Lions Club and Rehoboth VFW.
Mike enjoyed life to the fullest and had numerous hobbies and interests. He loved gardening, home improvement projects, traveling the world with Peg, driving his many cars (as fast as possible), beach life in Rehoboth, bocce ball games at Giuseppe Verdi Italian Club, old tv westerns, his many dogs and partying with his countless friends at the Warehouse or the beach..
Mike was a kind and generous man who loved his family and friends and would do all he could to help them. His fun loving nature and bright blue eyes will never be forgotten by those of us who loved him.
Mike is survived by his wife Peg Raimondi Scott; his sister Susan Scott; his brother Stephen Scott and wife Carmen and by his many loving nieces and nephews and their growing families.
The Scott family would like to thank Dr. David Biggs and staff of the Helen Graham Center, Dr. Kenneth Tzetkowski, Palliative Care and Heartland Hospice for their loving care of Michael through his journey.
All friends and family are invited to Mike's Life Celebration at the Mendenhall Inn, 323 Kennett Pike, Mendenhall, PA 19357 on Friday October 5 from 12-3 pm.

My husband, Anthony, and I met Mike while we were playing in an ongoing bocce tournament at Guiseppe Verdi Italian Club a few years ago. Those guys were true characters, and Mike fit right in.
I wish the best for his wife, Peggy, and the rest of his family.

Our heartfelt condolences to Mike's family. Though we did not know him personally, we got to know him through his beloved mother and sister. We had a love of "Longmire" in common. I hope Mike is having the beautiful day and continual soiree he so richly deserved.
