Walter David Scott Jr., true Scotsman

Walter David Scott Jr. (Scotty) lived up to his Scottish heritage every day of his life, beginning with a lifelong passion for golf, and ending with being one of the oldest living members of the St. Andrews Society of Baltimore. It was through golf that he met all his good friends, including his best friend and wife of 69 years, Catherine Leonard Scott. When Scotty and Cathy first met at the club they both belonged to in Baltimore, he took a liking to Cathy immediately and within the year they were married.

They went on to have three children, Walter David Scott III (deceased), Timothy Leonard Scott and Susan Elizabeth Scott Brodsky, married to Michael Brodsky.  Scotty is also survived by six grandchildren, Parker Scott Slaton and her husband Peter, Kelsey Scott DeTroia and her husband Matthew, Timothy Scott Jr., Ryan Scott and his wife Brooke, David Brodsky and wife-to-be Stephanie, Zachary Brodsky and his wife Kumiko; and six great-grandchildren (Cole Slaton, Ibbie Slaton, John Hawley Slaton, Brooks Slaton, Peter Brodsky and Price DeTroia.)

Scotty was defined by his love for family. Any day surrounded by his wife, his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren was a joyous day.  And to get a round of golf in with any of them made the day just that much sweeter.  His family likes to think he’s teeing off eternally now, playing a foursome up there with his parents Dodie and WD, and his son David while his Labrador retriever Clementine chases them down the fairway. 

He lived his life like his game of golf, with the highest integrity. Scotty died peacefully in his sleep Sunday, July 19, 2020, in Rehoboth Beach. Private services will be held. In lieu of flowers contributions could be made to The First Tee of Delaware, https://www.firstteedelaware.org/.
