James Henry Scott of Sioux Falls died Saturday, May 31 at the age of 62
following a long illness. He was born August 11, 1951 in Denison, Grayson
County, Texas to Lloyd George and Margaret Mae [Moody] Scott. He was in
Minneapolis, Minnesota where he had been receiving medical treatment when his
death occurred.
During his boyhood, Jim spent many happy days fishing and hunting with his
grandpa, gaining an appreciation for the outdoors. He dreamed of flying planes
from an early age, later taking lessons and soloing in single engine aircraft as
a young man. He went on to become a flight instructor. His talents in wood and
leather work were also identified early by his high school shop teacher, leading
to his future career in carpentry where he specialized in cabinetry. His
mechanical aptitude enabled his abilities in the building trades including
electrical, plumbing, and concrete work. He was employed in facilities
management with the Haysville, Kansas school district for a number of years.
In recent years, Jim relocated to South Dakota in order to be near his sister
and her family as his health declined. His sister Sherryl and her husband James
Wieczorek of Sioux Falls, and their children Heidi, Jacob, and Ashlyn Wieczorek
survive him. Mr. Scott was preceded in death by his parents and grandparents.
Services will be at a later date. He will be interred at Oak Grove Cemetery in
Johnston County, Oklahoma.
