Trevor Allen Scott, Sr. of Salem (Elsinboro), 91, passed away at home with his family by his side on Monday, April 1, 2024 after battling recent health issues over the past few months.
Born and raised in Delaware County, PA, Trevor served in the US Coast Guard during the end of the Korean War. Once out of the Coast Guard he met and married Barbara Ann (nee Norton) in 1957 and eventually they settled in Elsinboro in 1962 where he remained until his passing.
He worked in various shipyards before becoming a welder through Local Union 322, Plumbers & Pipefitters. After retiring from the Union, he began travelling across the US. In 1986, he and his son traveled by bicycles from Pennsylvania to Sacremento, CA in 50 days. He enjoyed golfing, playing card games with his family, motorcycle riding, bowling and plowing his fields on his many tractors. He also enjoyed horse racing at the Delaware Park and claimed to have gotten the chance to ride the legendary racehorse, Man o’ War, in Glen Riddle, PA when he was around 13. He often reminisced about his softball playing years for the Elsinboro VFW and the friends he made in that league. He was known to get quite heated in conversations when talking about the government and was a true Patriot who believed in freedom, truth, loyalty and honor. He also loved jogging which is how he met his second wife, Marie Heil, when they were both 75 years young. Their companionship for almost 17 years was such a blessing for both extended families. They enjoyed numerous dining out adventures and even camping out in a “pup tent” in Pennsylvania
Predeceased by his parents, Thomas and Helen Scott, his first wife, Barbara, his brothers, Elwood, Jack, and Tommy, his sisters, Carma, Emma, and Jane, his sons-in-law, Rod Fisher and Rob Mutz, and his grandson, Zachary Hand.
