Dennis Scott Obituary

Born on September 3, 1941, in Fresno, Ca., and passed away on Monday, February 9, 2009, at age 67. Dennis was the best father, husband, son, brother and grandfather. He was loved by all more than can be expressed. He left a hole in our hearts and will be missed forever. Dennis had his own business for many years and was also employed at the Fresno Bee.

He is survived by his loving wife, Pat; son, Mike; daughter, Shelley and her husband Richard; his mother, Pearl; his brother, Ken and his wife Judy; his sister, Penny; three grandchildren, Kevin, Lance, and Gianna; and many nieces and nephews.

Shelley,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I know that we haven't seen each other in quite a long time, but I still consider you to be a longtime friend. I pray that God will give you and your family strength during this sorrowful time.

Dear Pat,

Like so many others I'm sure, I am devastated at the news of Dennis' death. Marta and I have been in Brazil since mid-December with plans to return March 1st...therefore unable to attend the memorial services. Please know our hearts and prayers are with you, Shelly and Mike.

Sandy and Bill sent me an e-mail to pass along the news. She and I recalled our imfamous Dodger baseball trip many years ago featuring the excitement of having to stop in freeway traffic under an overpass just after the big Northridge Quake, the too many beers visit to Busch Gardens and Dennis' "secret" hot dog at the game. I'm glad we got to share so many good times. I will never forget all the great times Den and I shared overl the years we worked together at The Bee. I'm also very glad we had the opportunity to reunite a few times in this past year.

You know better than anyone what a superb person he was and how he positively impacted so many others.

I'm sure he's already making new frends for fishing, golfing and poker on the other side.

May God bless and comfort you and the children, Den's mother and sister and Ken's family during these difficult days. I will call for a visit when we return to the US.

Tons of Love and Hugs,

Bob DeLuca

I'm sorry to see that an old friend passed on so early in his life. I knew Scotty in Jr. High and Fresno High School. We played football together
in High school. I was a year younger
that Scotty and got to hang around with he and Bob Ross. Kinda chuckling to myself when the memory of our playing ping pong in his garage and scotty slaming the ball and falling on the table breaking it in half. As usual Scotty could laugh at himself. Never will forget
Scotty.

God Bless
