DONALD C SCOTT OBITUARY
Wednesday, November 5, 2025
Donald C. Scott, 82, passed away peacefully at home on October 30, 2025, under the care of his daughter, Andrea Scott.
Born in 1943 to the late Charles and Mae (Anderson) Scott, Don attended Barker’s Grove Country School and graduated from Greenwich Central School in 1961. After high school, he served four years in the United States Air Force as a mechanic before beginning a long and successful career in construction.
He became a proud member of Ironworkers Local #12 and spent many years with Unit Span Building Systems, traveling to Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and China to erect buildings for GE Power Systems. Later, he founded his own company, D.C. Scott, Inc., constructing metal buildings throughout the local area as well as in the Dominican Republic, Colorado, and Watertown, New York.
Deeply proud of his Scottish heritage, Don visited Scotland and proudly wore his kilt during St. Andrew’s Society of the City of Albany events. He served the Town of Easton as a Councilman for over 20 years and chaired the Easton Republican Committee for a time. He also held various positions on the Board of the Easton Rural Cemetery.
Don’s interests included Lincoln Town Cars, hunting, Saturday night dinners with Larry Ashcroft, and outings to LT’s with Stanley LeBarron. He was “Baba” to Gavin and Lincoln and cherished making pancakes with them nearly every morning.
He is survived by his daughter, Andrea Scott; grandson, Gregory Scott; granddaughter, Lezzette Hughes (Matt Baker); and great-grandchildren Gavin, Lincoln, and Ava Scott. Also surviving are Chris Weir, whom he considered a second son; sisters Barbara Gaige, Leona Brownell, brother-in-law Wes Brownell, sister-in-law Carol (Charles) Roosa and brother-on-law Frederick Field, along with several nieces, nephews, and cousins who were dear to him.
He was predeceased by his loving wife, Diane Scott; son, Charlie Scott; sister, Joanne Brownell; brother-in-law, Al Brownell; cousin, Jack Hurley; sister-in-law; Barbara Field; and nephew; Gregory Field.
Don was known for his generosity, always willing to lend a hand on others’ construction projects and was loved by many.
