He was actively involved in the over 40 Soccer Club at Keva, and most recently coached his son's DeForest Soccer Team. Scot also coached for the Sun Prairie Youth Soccer League for many years. He was an accomplished chef who knew his way around the kitchen and enjoyed creating sumptuous meals for friends and family.
