Services are scheduled for 11:30 a.m. tomorrow at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery for Cyril G. "Cy" Scott, a retired newspaper editor who was fatally injured Wednesday when hit by a tractor-trailer rig.
Mr. Scott, 63, apparently walked in front of the vehicle at Seventh Avenue and Market Street in downtown San Diego, near the Coast Hotel where he lived, authorities said.
Mr. Scott had been copy-desk chief of the former San Diego County edition of the Los Angeles Times. He worked 14 years for the Times before retiring in 1992.
He also had been an editor with the Los Angeles Times/Washington Post News Service and worked at the Wilmington News Journal in Delaware, the Chattanooga Times in Tennessee and the Kansas City Star, where he began his newspaper career as a reporter in 1955.
A native of Kansas City, Kan., Mr. Scott served in the Army in Germany in the early 1950s. He was fluent in Spanish and German and attended the University of Free Berlin, the University of Munich and Heidelberg University after his discharge from the military.
He also attended the University of Missouri at Kansas City.
He is survived by four daughters, Barbara Suddath of Swaziland, Africa, Leslie-Lynn Broyles of El Cajon, Jennifer Scott of San Diego, Carolyn Scott of Orlando, Fla.; a son, Greg, of Temecula; a brother, Donald, of Lakeside; his mother, Helen Scott of Lakeside; and six grandchildren.
Donations are suggested to the MS Foundation, 6350 N. Andrews Ave., Fort Lauderdale, Fla. 33309, in memory of Cyril G. Scott Jr.
