Many a planned family vacation was delayed or cancelled, depending on how long his All Stars remained in competition., He also enjoyed bowling and bowled in the Thursday night men's league for Riverside Lunch until duck pin bowling was discontinued at the local bowling alley. The bowling team, however, continued their Thursday night "bowling" for many years and Dave remained devoted to that activity and the friends he met there until his health made it difficult or impossible for him to attend.

Scott graduated from Windsor High School in 1993, where he participated in several clubs and activities. Scott will be remembered most for his extensive contributions of smiling and sharing. After graduation, Scott held odd jobs before beginning advanced medical studies programs at Duke University, Massachusetts General and The National Institute of Health, where he became a distinguished contributor for over nine years. During those years Scott set records for complimenting staff members, especially females, who he would always tell "you look very nice today, thank you for helping me." As his final contribution to NIH, his remains will be studied to advance research of 4H Syndrome and Leukodystrophy. Scott was a member of Bethany Presbyterian Church, where he served many roles. His final role and lasting contribution was the inspiration he gave to many to persevere and remain faithful. In his heavenly home, Scott is able, once again, to run, dance, laugh, sing and chase girls the way he did before his body was ravaged by 4H. Scott's spirit will endure every time those fortunate enough to have known him smile, laugh, share, persevere or offer a compliment. There will be a memorial service at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, April 21, 2010 at Parr Funeral Home and Crematory, 3515 Robs Drive, Suffolk. His cousin, Rev. Joel Meitz, will officiate.
