To all the Scott families,
Our deepest condolences go out to you during this sad time. Chuck was our friend and he will be missed.
My sincere thoughts and prayers are with the Scott family and friends.
In 1959 and 1960 Chuckie was my best friend and we had many adventures while living in Sanford. The Scott family was important to both my family and the Sanford community. Their light will be missed in this world.
Charlie,you know how much you’ll be missed. Between you and Walt Smith I have become the ” car nut” I am today. The days of visiting you at the local Part’s store as a teen, looking for suggestions on how I could make it run better reminds me of how you would always unselfishly share your secrets. You always had time to answer my questions and never gave me the feeling I was wasting your time.
God bless
to the Scott family, sending our condolences and prayers during this sad time. Charlie was a good friend to me, and so many others. May you forever rest in peace Charlie.
Farewell my friend. So sad, we have lost another one of the greats. I will always remember Charlie as a dear friend. Loved his smile, wit and wisdom. RIP friend. You will never be forgotten.
My condolences to the Scott family. Charlie was a great person, with a love of classic cars and life. I knew him from when he owned the garage on Penna Ave West. And my kids just loved his Dodge Charger. RIP
Charlie, Words cannot express how you will be missed. You were loved by all that knew you. You were a treat to be around,always smiling and a kind word.I’ll always remember your nick name to me,Mr. Xray,after we x-rayed some axles for you at Struthers. I think you thanked me for twenty years,but did not want thanks for all you did to help everyone else. Rest now, you have labored hard,but I know you will do a few burn outs in heaven. (Mopar,no doubt !)
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the entire Scott family in the recent tragic loss of their loved ones, Charlie and Marcy. Charlie was an old friend from high school and will be remembered fondly – especially for his mischievous smile. May they Rest In Peace.
My sincerest condolences and prayers for the Scott / White family and friends.
So sad. Charlie was family and a dear friend. Miss you friend!
We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Jim,
Sorry to hear that your brother and sister passed away. May the Good Lord comfort your family during this time of grief.

To the Scott family, I just learned of Charlie passing, you have NH deepest sympathy. AS a 4 year old boy I had the privilege of meeting Charlie while he worked at the OK Mobile gas station. Charlie taught me so much about working on car’s. He taught me how to use a timing gun . He taught me how to change brakes . As Charlie would say to me Joey please don’t say the F word about woman. He said you want to say you want a Hot woman on a cold night. I was a very mature 5 year old maybe 7 or 8 . But Charlie was my mentor. He taught me everything about working on cars back in the late 70s . May you rest in peace my dear friend.
