I can speak for our entire Solera swim club when I say that we really miss Russ. Events at the Center will just not be the same without his smile. Russ was a true gentleman!
This memorial website was created in memory of our father, Russ Scott. With friends and family across the United States we hope this will be a place that everyone can gather to share stories, thoughts and pictures for years to come. Our father was a special man on so many levels...his kindness, loyalty and love were beyond compare and we will miss him dearly. We invite you to visit this website as often as desired...for a lifetime. Please share all the laughter and love that you have for him and we will all be blessed.

I was so sad when I heard about Russ. He was a kind loving soul. Him and Lore were so kind and loving to my husband and I and our grandson mason. My husband Wayne played pool with him every Tuesday. God speed Russ you are so missed. You are now one of Gods angels in heaven as you were here on earth. God bless you

I'm so sorry to hear about Russ. I couldn't have picked a nicer neighbor. We both kept an eye out for each other's place and I always felt safe knowing he was there. I will miss "chatting" with him in the backyard. I would see him at the rec. club either playing pool or joining the swimming class and he always had a wave and a Hi for everyone.
He will be missed by all of the residents in our community who knew him.

We just learned of Russell passing away this December. My wife Diane, and I George Toscano worked with Scottie at the plant “Reynolds Metals, Torrance, CA. for so many years. I personally worked with him for about 26 or 27 years and we kept in touch long after he retired.
We are passing on the information to the other retiree’s and the reaction has been of sadden shock that he is no longer with us.
He was a wonderful man and a good and dear friend. I will miss his laughter and his smiles. I will miss the talks that two men have with each other, that respect each other. He was always there for us in good times and bad times as well.
We would like the family to know that he was loved, respected and held in high esteem by so many.

We at Big Bear Manor Spa Cabins in Big Bear Lake will truly miss Russ and his visits to our place. He and Lore have become almost like family (only we wished they would stay longer). You should be proud that your father, brother, grandpa, or whatever he was to you, was one of the nicest and most cheerful guys around. We always looked forward to visits from Russ and Lore. Rest in peace, Russ.

Happy belated birthday Dad! Thought of you as I was in New Mexico this year on your birthday. Made me think about how much you loved the cabin we had there! I can still see you sitting on the front porch and feeding the deer. I don’t think you ever forgave me for selling it but I could feel you with me on this trip . You always loved the mountains… the scenery was spectacular!

Hi Russ,

See below. Your picture came a day late on my digital picture frame. It did! Yet, even yesterday, a group photo of the old gang showed… and then one of Steve Godfrey, then Mike Weinstein, Richie Crandall & Kurt Wolf! There is a “hereafter!” See you someday buddy!
Small world Continuation. Another coincidence? I just like to make up stories?

In a nutshell for the last 2 years, on Dec 26 Rusty appeared (on our digital picture frame!) The frame contains 3,280 pictures which shuffle somewhat randomly, and which contain only two pictures of Rusty! I view that frame perhaps a minute or two daily as I walk by.
On the 26th this year I looked… no Rusty. I looked perhaps ten times that day. Today as I phoned my sister, she said maybe it will be a day late. I just said maybe. TONIGHT… as I spent an unusual amount of time in that room, a pic came on of my going away (to army) party. No Rusty as he had already left for the Navy. I scrolled 5 pics to the left and there him-and-I were! If I hadn’t scrolled… his picture with me would likely have appeared byitself…

My Scar!

Hey Russ,
I still have the scar! Remember when we went to Jones Beach together and decided to play Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Finn and go out on a raft? I remember my dad being there and us out by the water off the beaten path. Well we found a pallet, apparently disregarded the nails in it, went out, and capsized, causing a still visible scar from the nails,on my right knee almost 2 inches long… Ha yet another reason I’ll never forget you buddy!
