for Scott LeDoux

I met Scott one day at Bunker Hills golf course , I was on the green when a ball rolled up onto the green , in amazement I looked down the fairway over some 235 yards away and saw two people waving their hands . In anger I yelled back . And my friend said arnie , Take it easy I think that is Scott Ladoux a fighter somewhat known for his talent . He came to the green and said he was sorry . Today being 83 years old and remembering that nice man , who I got to know better . And was so surprised at the fighters he then fought . Today in 2023 I wish I could go back in time to Bunker Hills !

The great Scott LeDoux. He fought Ali, Foreman, Norton, and many others. He was a tough guy, but a nice guy. My best memory of Scott was when he was in AWA as a referee, and him and Larry Zybszko had a vendetta with one another and they fought each other. And I remember him in Clark submarine sandwich commercials. I never got to meet him, but he seemed like a nice man. It´s sad he died of ALS, my condolences to his wife and family, sorry for your loss. Scott will always be remembered as the man who fought the greats in the sport of boxing, 10 world champs. Never forget you Scott your a mans man!

Scottie, you were always someone I looked up to in boxing. As I got older I´d steal some of your moves in the gym, just not as polished as you were. You exemplified what a great fighter and sound like person is,

I lost contact with Scott after serving with him at Ft. Lee in Virginia! He was a huge..powerful hulk of a man... but he was a gentle giant. I never even knew he fought twice for the Heavyweight Boxing Championship of the world! Proud to say Scott was my friend. RIP SCOTTY!
Oh YEAH SAY hi to JESUS Too

I am so sorry for the loss that your family has suffered. I have known Scott since I was about 10, he was a very good friend of my dad's, and they golfed together at Bunker Hills, where I rode along. I read that Scott wanted people to tell Josh that he was a "Helluva Fighter", well Josh, My dad took me to two fights, (both your dad's at the met)I'm still A huge boxing fan because of your dad.He was a HELLUVA FIGHTER!!!!! What a loss for the people that knew him, and those that had yet to meet him. Scott was one of the most considerate, caring people that I have ever had the priviledge to know, every life that he touched is richer because of him!

In 1999, we were present when Scott interviewed our granddaughter, Tarryn, for her Disney Make a Wish trip--that was before Wishes and More. He was so kind to her and left quite an impression on us. We lost her one year later to brain cancer and are so thankful for the memories we soaked up on that trip. I spoke to him at JC Penney almost 2 years ago and let him know again how grateful we were. Blessings to his family in the lonely days to come.

RIP Scott, you always had something funny to say and an eager hand to shake. I was fortunate to spend some time fishing with you and Josh up in Canada. You fought a good fight. We'll meet again my friend.

To the Family of Scott Ledoux,It was a pleasure to know Scott. We could always count on Scott to be there whenever asked to help out with anything related to Golden Gloves. He knew that the amateur part of boxing is what fed the pro part of boxing and to help kids was his number one priority. Thanks Scott for all you did for amateur boxing.

August 16, 2011
Carol and family,I got to know Scott in the early 70s at the 7th Street Gym where we were sparring partners and friends. Scott was a fierce and fair competitor, always a gentleman. It was evident that he was a Christian by the way he behaved. "He fought the good fight, he finished the race, and he kept the faith." My wife Therese joins me in extending our deepest condolences.

To Scott's extended family,
I knew Scott in the Army in the early 70s before he turned professional. Scott was a caring and gentle man then and as we watched him become the professional we all know, Scott never let the bright lights blind him and he was a gentle and giving man in a tough business. He also would call all his Army buddies keeping us all in touch.
August 15, 2011
Scotty and I were UMD football team mates, and what a great guy he was. Also, we boxed togather. He was a warm soft man, and was a special friend. Rest in peace Scotty, you will be missed.

My prayers and condolences go out to Carol, Josh and Molly. Your Dad has been one of my best and oldest friends for the past 41 years. We saw each other infrequently but always stayed in touch. That was the loyalty your Dad had for friends. He was all strength, spirit, compassion and humility. No matter how tough life got he always maintained that great sense of humor. He loved you all very much. We will all miss him but will carry him in our hearts and memories. May God bless and keep you.

To the family of Scott Ledoux, I am sorry to hear of your loss. I have seen you at Walmart a couple of times in the later evening and wanted to say hi but was afraid. I went to school in Crosby and I was in the Miss Crosby Padgent(1980) in which Scott LeDoux was the M.C..I remember How excited that Cindy Wynn was happy to say that Scott would be the M.C. What a memoriable event. Not everybody knows of Scott doing this compared to his boxing courer. The town of Crosby will always remember you.

My deepest Sympathy goes out to Scott 's family and you're in my prayers...he was an fabuloous individual.
Scott and I first met at a celebrity golf tournamnet in Mound in the 80's and became fast friends. He was a gracious individual who gave back to the community lending his celebrity to charities in their fund raising. Scott went out of his way and always in great spirits and fun to all at these events...they don't make them any better than this guy!
Scott may be gone, but he'll never be forgotten...
