Scott moved to Portsmouth NH in 1997 and emailed family daily weather updates, backyard wildlife sightings and news from his favorite morning coffee spot Caffe Kilim. He made friends in Portsmouth that he cherished for the rest of his life.
In addition to all things mechanical, Scott's interest was in "good food" and was a crock-pot aficionado and the proud author of "The Curmudgeon's Guide to Cooking" cookbook.
