Penny — I will miss Kent's cheerful presence! Deepest sympathies
Kent was a quality individual whose positive attitude, humor and insights into nature will be greatly missed by myself and many others. My heartfelt sympathies at this difficult time.
Wonderful memories of Kent as a avid Madison Garden Club member for many years. And a personal memory with my grandchildren from Chardon as their ski instructor. He had a wonderful way with children. He will be dearly missed. President Madison Garden Club, Dottie Ashton
Kent Scott introduced my husband and me to the enjoyment of hiking and Lake Metroparks. We went on many programs with Kent and he inspired us to continue hiking and Metroparks programs with our children — carrying them in backpacks as infants and then walking with them as they grew older. These experiences led both of them to a deep appreciation of nature and the wild, with our son working for four college summers at Cheley, a camp in Estes Park, Colorado. Just this past weekend, we joined our daughter and her fiancé and hiked trails in Shenandoah. I always will remember Kent with fondness and appreciation for instilling in us (and many others) the love of the natural environment he so readily shared with all.
