John J. Scott March 17, 2007


The family of John James Scott, of Plainville, wishes you to remember our father, who passed away on Saturday, March 17, 2007, while in the company of his loving family. He was born nearly 92 years ago on April 22 in Syracuse and lived on Schuyler Street in the Tipperary Hill neighborhood, where he attended St. Patrick's High School.

He served in the CCC building roads through Montana to help support his family. He met our mother, Vera Southworth, at the Avery Tavern, owned by Vera's father. He served as a corporal in the Marine Corps during WW II and was one of the first to occupy Japan. Wherever he worked, he was called upon to solve impossible problems. As proud as he was of his skills and products of his labor, his true mission was his dedication to his children and grandchildren. He never stopped giving of his talents, wealth and love. When you were in need, Dad (Grandpa, Uncle John) was there. He taught us to think for ourselves, be honest, respect others, always do our best and to never give up.

After retirement as a painter at Upstate Medical Center, he built two houses for his sons and helped remodel many more homes for family, friends and neighbors. One of his greatest passions was making apple cider with his 1868 cider press. He did not want to stop bottling cider until the last apples were covered with snow.

His family includes sons and daughters-in-law, William and Carolyn Scott of Hannibal, John and Katherine Scott of Baldwinsville, Gerald and Gerry Scott of Red Creek, Robert Scott of Hannibal and David Scott of Plainville; daughters and sons-in-law, Mary and Robert Roth of Meridian and Patricia and Harold Hemler of Cato; 16 grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren, all of whom love him very much and will always carry his lessons and love with them forever.

Services: 10 a.m. Wednesday, March 21, 2007, at St. Patrick's Church, Cato.
Burial in Union Hill Cemetery, Cato. Calling hours are 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 20, 2007, at Falardeau Funeral Home, 93 Downer St., Baldwinsville.
