Alongside Scott's adventures, his dedicated work ethic, humble personality and genuine sense of humor led him to become a production foreman at various manufacturing workshops throughout Oregon and California. In 1993 Scott fell in love with Humboldt County, California. He adored the redwoods, the ocean, the friendly faces, Community Cornerstone and his sweetheart, Michelle Smith. Scott lived happily in Southern Humboldt for twenty-two years as a vocational director at Community Cornerstone, a loving partner to Michelle Smith, a devoted father to Desiree Trombla, a deep sea fisherman at Shelter Cove, a volunteer firefighter at the Redway Volunteer Fire Department and as a dear friend to our community. Scott lovingly devoted his time toward assisting those in need and will always be remembered for his golden heart, lively spirit and compassionate nature.
