Dr. Scott delivered our three children in 1967, 1970 and 1971. My husband was still a student and because his father was a doctor, Dr. Scott took us as patients with no charge! Since we had no insurance, this was such a blessing to us. He was such a nice, gentle and kind man and we have always been thankful for him. We are so sorry for your loss.
