Besides his work, Scott had a passion for fishing, boating and riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle. He also actively enjoyed collecting Zippo lighters, Hot Wheels, model cars, watches and pocket knives. He had a vivid and energetic personality that would always light up a room every time he walked into one. Scott had an amazing ability to make sure he left you laughing or smiling after ever visit he would have with you. Scott was always on the go, constantly traveling to visit friends and loved ones. He was always willing to go the extra mile to lend a hand and help anyone in need. He cared very deeply for his friends and family, and his family will deeply miss his daily phone calls and drop in visits. Scott could captivate a room with his stories, and those stories will forever remain in our hearts as some of our most fond memories. Family and friends are invited to attend wake services at Robertaccio Funeral Home on Thursday July 25th from 2-4 pm and 7-9 pm. Scott will be cremated and his ashes will be spread across various locations at a later time. In Lieu of floral donations, the family is asking that donations in Scott’s name be made to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) (https://donate.nami.org), and Stony Brook Cancer Center (https://alumniandfriends.stonybrook.edu). The family wishes for these donations in light of the fact that Scott struggled with Mental Illness for a large portion of his life and because Scott was a Leukemia survivor thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff at Stony Brook Hospital. The family wishes donations be made to these organizations to further support research and support services offered by both of these organizations.
