ok, everyone should know that in my hardests of times, my mom past away, months later scotty went with me to clean and paint the house ready for sale. In the mist of it I took him to the race tracks.(keenland) in Lexington. He had never been to a horse race. Well this was opening week and I was very sad.So to cheer me up, as crazy as that may sound, I took scotty to his first ky. horse track. It was unbelievably fun even as sad as I was. Just an example of Scotty's great life. I miss him................. Jeri

You are love and laughter, joy and happiness.
Your spirit of acceptance and kindness, your light-hearted and free-spirited nature, and your gift of laughing-so-hard-tears-are-spilling-out-and-everyone-is-doubled-over- because-you-are- SOOOOOOO-hysterically-and- beautifully-funny brought delight to everyone around you.
Scotty, we love you so. Though you will live in our hearts forever, we will never be whole again.

To Mom and Dad Schofield,
I love your son/my brother and I can't thank you enough for sharing him with me. I want you to know that Scotty is ALIVE!! He's ALIVE in my heart and in the hearts of my children (Danny & Samantha). He has many gifts, but one gift stands out, the gift of LAUGHTER. He could light up a room and everyone in it with his presence, his kindness, and his love. I think of him everyday and he still makes me SMILE and LAUGH. Scotty is ALIVE!! He's ALIVE in me, my kids, and everyone that know and love him. Once again I just want to say THANK YOU for sharing him with all of us!!

For the Scofield family
We are pleased to let Scotty's family know of our love for him. Our son Brad introduced us to Scotty when they returned from Hawai to Dallas and shared an apartment. There is a place in our hearts for your son .He was a very caring person. He was always kind and very thoughtful as well as blessed with a marvelous sense of humor.He spoke fondly to us of his family many times.
We missed Scotty's call this Christmas as he usually called Mother's Day and Christmas. We were concerned about him. We now know that Scotty is in a better place. His worries and weaknesses are gone. It was a privilege to know Scotty and be apart of his life. We deeply regret your loss.
Most sincerely,
Frank & Joanne Bradley

I am truly sorry for your loss. I just found out about his passing when I called to invite him to my wedding. What I shock to hear the news! I have been a friend of Scotty’s since 1980, when I met him in Honolulu HI. He was my first roommate there when we opened up TGI Fridays. Neither of us knew each other at the time, but everything worked out great, and what fun we had. He was full of life and always was a giver. He made people smile every time he entered a room, he should have been a stand up comic. I moved back to Dallas, Texas and later he moved back there as well and moved in with me. We both worked together for several years. He was a big part in my family’s life, he was like a big brother whit a kick. My mom adored him. He would call and cheer her up several times a year just like another member of the family. Scotty was defiantly one of a kind and God threw away the mold after he made him, and will be well missed by me as well as others who have met him. You should be really proud to have a son like him. I can remember when he went back home for a wedding and put bow ties on all of the chickens. That is a picture that I will always remember, always out to have fun. He was a joy to know.

Scott was born in Stafford, CT. and became a Willington Boy Scout who loved camping at Ashford campgrounds and in our woods.
Scott had many friends and was a true friend to others. He worked for the T.G.I. Friday's restaurant corporation and was in charge of opening their new stores from Buffalo, N.Y. to Hawaii.
He later worked in Texas for the movie industry creating and painting the sets. They traveled with a caravan of tractor trailers and a troop of wonderful people. They all worked together, even when the Texas heat reached 120 degrees, to complete the movies on time. His name appeared in the credits for the movie "Spy Kids One" as the head painter.
Scott had a wonderful sense of humor and loved fun surprises. For his brother Roger's wedding to Carol, Scott thought to dress our white chickens in black bow ties. All of the guests went to look at them and thought this was a great addition to the festivities. We all became a part of this project - sister Sheila sewed the ties, Dad held the chickens (Scott was afraid of them) and Mom placed the ties on her beautiful birds. The chickens seemed to enjoy the wedding, also.
Scott moved to Austin, TX around twenty-five years ago. He generated many wonderful and supportive friends. He was always welcome in their homes and often hosted their parties because he was a great cook.
His farming roots gave him a love for animals. His various dogs were trained to enter hospitals to help bring comfort to the patients. Scott had a deep concern for the well-being of the poor, sick, retarded and homeless. On holidays he cooked at Austin's Salvation Army kitchen as his contribution to make sure the poor would eat well. This was his joy--to serve others.
He was a good son who called home two to three times a week to tell jokes and catch up on the news. Scott loved his family, his niece Valerie, his nephew Francis, his aunts, uncles and ALL of his cousins.
His friends were also a part of his family. They will be having services in Scott's honor in Texas. We all appreciate their wonderful support and kindness to Scott and to us.
Loving regards from us to you all.

Dear George, Rose, Sheila, Roger & Carol;
Althought I also left the Willington area many years ago, I always remembered and thought of Scott often. I have such fond memories of our escapades together, from as early as the scouting days thru the young adult years of socializing (aka partying) at Rosal's, Sundown Inn, Chuck's and yes, even the Higley Hill barn in Vermont. It is sad that I have to learn of his passing as an update to his life. He will be missed, but never forgotten. My deepest sympathies to you all.
Heaven's not gonna know what to do with you!

It hurts to think that none of us will ever see or hear from Scott again. He touched so many lives. And while I regret not staying in touch with him, I feel lucky to have been his friend. The memory of him and his antics will always brighten the days when sadness creeps in. ScottyBob would not want us to be sad, he would want us to remember his smile and the joy he so easily passed to those around him. He would want us to celebrate his life and share his stories. Can't you just picture him twisting his mustache and saying, "Remember that time when...

Dear George, Rose, Roger & Carol,
It has been many years since I have had the fortune of seeing Scott face-to-face, but it doesn't matter - I remember him well. We had many nights together at the Sundown Inn, as well as a couple of crazy trips to the Higley Hill Barn in Vermont. Scott was always a cheerful and friendly kind of guy - I can't recall him ever having a bad attitude about anything or anyone. I regret that I will never be able to be see him again. He will be missed by many ...
