Scott28543255842000 Mention Carrol Scott to someone and you may get a blank look in response. Say “Scotty” though, and that person would be hard pressed to keep a warm smile off their face! Carrol Eugene Scott, better known to just about everyone as Scotty, left this Earth February 25, 2011, after several years of struggle with declining health, leaving behind a legacy of love. Love of his family, love of his friends, his country, and so much more. Even if, in the case of his love of the Kansas City Royals and the Chiefs, that love was strained at times. Born May 15, 1931, to Homer and Merle Scott in Salina, Kansas, Scotty and his older brother, Harold, would soon move to McPherson, Kansas, when they were still young, both putting down roots that stand to this day. After attending McPherson High School, Scotty entered the Air Force, where he became a mechanic with the 307th Fighter Squadron and would serve in such locations as England, Japan, and Georgia during the Korean War. He was proud to serve his country, a pride he carried with him through the rest of his life. It was during his service in Georgia he would meet Peggy Joyce Evans, the eventual love of his life. They were joined together in matrimony on New Year’s Eve of 1953, spending the next 57 years together, all of it in McPherson. Their union produced two children, Patricia and Gary. Upon leaving the Air Force, Scotty joined his father, Homer, in the family business, spending the next 43 years as a fixture on Euclid Street as Scotty the Barber. When health issues prevented him from standing on his feet all day, Scotty began working at Turkey Creek Golf Course, a job that seemed to be the perfect fit. He loved the sport of golf, often spending entire weekends either on the course, himself, or watching whatever tournament happened to be on at the time. He only retired fully when his health began declining in 2006. Scotty was a loyal Wildcat, cheering on Kansas State even(continued on back)through the lean years of the football program. He loved sports in all forms. Whether as a wide receiver in high school, or as a coach of the Charolais Queens for several seasons, or just listening to the radio broadcasts of the McPherson High Bullpups if he couldn’t make it to games in person. Scotty also had a deep, personal faith and was a longtime member of the First Christian Church of McPherson, where he sang for several years as a member of the choir. A lifelong member of the American Legion and the Odd Fellows, Scotty leaves behind his wife, Peggy, his daughter Patricia, and his grandchildren, Chris and Becca. The grandchildren, in particular, were his greatestr joy, often bragging about them to anyone who would listen. He is also survived by his brother, Harold and wife, Wanda. Scotty referred to Harold as his “Bud” even though they had their moments as siblings will. They were constantly together as children; building things, playing sports, or playing with friends. Scotty also touched the lives of many other family members and friends, all of whom share this loss.TapsDay is done, gone the sun,From the lake, from the hill,from the sky.All is well, safely rest. God is nigh.Thanks and praise for our days,‘neath the sun, ‘neath the stars,‘neath the sky.As we go, this we know. God is nigh. In Loving MemoryCarrol E. “Scotty” Scott1931 ~ 2011 ................
