According to his wishes Jack will be cremated and his cremains interred at the Lake Delton Village cemetery . Military rites will be provided by the Harold B. Larkin American Legion Post 187 of Wisconsin Dells.
Jack was born May 14, 1921 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin the son of Virgil and Katherine (Schlageter) Scott. In November of 1942 he entered the U.S. Army. His WWII military service took him overseas with the 40th Engineers Combat Regiment to Sicily, Naples, Foggia, Rome, Arno, Southern France, Rhineland and Southern Europe . He earned the Victory Medal, European African Middle Eastern Theater Ribbon with 1 Silver Battle Star and 1 Bronze Battle Star, Bronze Service Arrowhead, 4 Overseas Service Bars, 1 Service Stripe and a Good Conduct Medal. He attained the rank of Corporal and was honorably discharged in November of 1945. In October of 1946 he married
Laura Mae Sarrington in Dubuque, Iowa. Before and after his military service he worked for the Sarrington Construction Company. In 1960 he formed Scott Construction which continues today as a family owned and operated company.
Jack was a charter member of the Lake Delton Lions Club, through which his efforts rewarded him the prestigious Lions Club Melvin Jones Award for meritorious service, organizer of the Lions Club Golden Age Dinner, a member of Harold B. Larkin American Legion Post 187 of Wisconsin Dells and a past member of the Lake Delton Volunteer Fire Department. Annual reunions since 1945 provided camaraderie with his military buddies from the 40th Engineers. He was an active member of Holy Cross Episcopal Church and Saint Albens in Tucson, Arizona .
“JC” was a loving, generous and proud husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He passed on his love for golfing to his children and grandchildren. Many wonderful and fun hours were spent at the Dellview/Wilderness, Reedsburg and Ventana Golf Clubs. Dad was an avid photographer. Our albums are full of his “unique” pictures. Many people will remember him for his giving of $2.00 bills. We think he was personally responsible for keeping them in circulation. His loyalty and love of his country was shown in his forever gifting of American flags. He said, “NO home is complete if it doesn’t have an American flag flying”. The raising of the flag was a signal to their neighbors of their return to their Tucson winter home where they have spent the last 20 winters. He was a respected and caring employer. Even though heart trouble took him away from Scott Construction at an early age, his heart was never out of the business. There are many red and only a few of the special “white” Scott Construction hats throughout the United States and around the world. Many years the Reedsburg Butterfest saw an influx of red hats as Grandpa was taking his grandkids to the celebration. He said “You can’t lose the red hats in a crowd!” His unique sense of humor, his mischievously sly smile and loving, generous heart will be dearly missed by his family and many friends.
Jack is dearly missed by his wife, Laura Mae; sons, John “Doug” (Linda) and Randy (Kristine) both of Lake Delton; daughters, Sandra (James) Jordan of Reedsburg, Wisconsin and Teresa (Jeffrey) Jacobson of Lake Delton; a brother, Dan (Donna) of Lake Delton; sister, Dorothy Dehler of Baraboo, Wisconsin; grandchildren, Aaron (Theresa) Scott, Benjamin (Margaret) Scott, Sarah Scott, Jill, Scott and Eric Loomis, Joel, Jared and Jason Seufzer, Collin and Brennen Jacobson and Katelyn and Nathan Scott; and great grandchildren, Brooke and Noah Michel and Taylor Talley.
