Thomas Scott Obituary
Tom attended schools in Pennsylvania and had worked for IBM as a customer engineer. During the 50's, in Bedford, PA he was a radio operator in the event of local emergencies. He then became president of a local Ham Radio Organization.
Before retiring, he worked for UMass in the Audio-Visual Department. Tom was a proud U.S Army Veteran, an avid reader, but most of all, he loved and adored his family.
He is survived by his loving wife, Jean "Eileen" (Martin) Scott of Amherst, his sons, Thomas and his partner Marlene of Belchertown, Ronald and his wife Pam of Deerfield, his daughters, Becky Blajda and her husband Rich of Hadley, Judith Kuzdeba and her husband Peter of S. Deerfield, Carol Caines and her husband Chris of S. Deerfield, 12 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, several nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, he was pre-deceased by his son Mark Scott, and his siblings, John, Philip, June Doehre, Doris England and Virginia Scott.
A private burial with Military Honors will be at the convenience of the family in Riverside Cemetery, Sunderland.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to Cooley Dickinson VNA & Hospice Programs and Services, 30 Locust St, Northampton, MA 01060.

So sorry for your loss. I have been fortunate to be a neighbor of Tom and his wife Eileen for many years. He was a valued member of our community having helped many of us with many household projects. Always smiling when we´d meet.

We got our first Christmas Tree at Scott´s Tree farm from this jolly elf. Was very glad to see him later on as we got to know most of his kids over the years.

Carol I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. May your fond memories of him carry you and your family through this difficult time. Although I didn´t know him, I´m sure that he was a good man to raise such a sweet and kind person like you. I´m sure he was so very proud of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.
