He was born September 14, 1946, in Clarksville, Tennessee, to Robert and Edith Wall Scott.
Growing up, Harry enjoyed helping his grandfather on his farm and working with his hands. After graduating from Austin Peay University, Harry served his country honorably as an Army Staff Sergeant in Vietnam.
Harry married the love of his life, Carolyn, in 1972. Together, they built a life centered on family, faith, and community.
Harry and Carolyn were blessed with three children, and later as a grandfather Harry found immense joy in spending time with his three grandchildren. He was a proud “Papa,” cherishing every moment with them.
He served as an active member for many years at the First Presbyterian Church of Portland and the Portland Lions Club. He was employed by The Jay Garment Corporation, G.W. Bartlett Company, and FCC Indiana, where he retired from in 2011.
He was preceded in death by his parents Robert (1995) and Edith (2013) Scott and brother, Robert Scott (2022).
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in memory of Harry Scott to the First Presbyterian Church of Portland or Honor Flight of Northeast Indiana.
