Scott worked for Premier Properties, The Damiano Group in Little Falls as a Real Estate agent for 13 years.
He was a member of various organizations such as the American Legion in Totowa, The Carpenters Union Local #254 of Edison and the Masonic Lodge, Mountain View #154 of Haledon.
Scott was an avid golfer and loved his friends and family dearly.
Heartbroken loved ones remembered Scott as a gentle giant on a GoFundMe that had raised more than $8,300 as of Sunday night.
"Though Scott was a giant of a man who looked intimidating, anyone who got to know him learned how kind and loving he was," Kimberly Spadora said on the page.
"Scott loved to laugh and had a gift for making others laugh, as well."
He is predeceased by his father, John; and grandfather, James.
He is survived by his mom, Linda Milligan; grandmother Ellen Cunningham; along with dear aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.
