Stan Scott, 87

Stan Scott, beloved father, husband, son, uncle and friend, passed away on Oct. 9, 2024. He was 87 years old.

Stan was born in Syracuse and raised in Delphi Falls. His family has strong roots in the Central New York area, stretching back over two centuries. He had a keen interest in this history and was an avid amateur genealogist. He was an enthusiastic member of both the Fabius and Pompey Historical Societies.

After graduating from Fabius High School, and marrying Janice (“Dodge”) Morgan a couple of years later, he held a variety of jobs in many different fields. In his forties and onward, he founded a series of three successful businesses in the building materials industry. He derived immense satisfaction from these endeavors. Every day was a new and exciting challenge for him, and he couldn’t wait to get going. He threw his heart and soul into it, and enjoyed every minute.

And that is how he approached life, too. He had a zest for all the pleasures of living, and was rarely bored. A few of his many interests included woodworking, photography and refurbishing antique tractors.

He was a great listener, and had an impressive ability to make friends wherever he went. He was considered a mentor by some. He truly blazed his own trail.

He is very deeply missed.

Stan is survived by his daughter, Deb Scott; his best friend, Barbara Wilcox; and several nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his wife, Janice; his brother, Kenneth Scott; and sister, Ernestine “Tina” Geariety.

There will be a celebration of his life at the Craftsman Wood Grille at 7300 East Genesee St., in Fayetteville, NY on Sunday, Nov. 3, 2024, from 1 to 4 p.m. Condolences for Stan’s family may be left at michaelebrownfuneralservices.com.
