Scott was a kind and loving husband and father who enjoyed spending time with his three sons, family and friends doing what they loved-working in the shop, snowmobling, collector cars, four wheeling and Harley rides. Scott was a very talented jack-of-all trades and will be lovingly remembered as "Watosh" (a man with too many irons in the fire). Scott touched our hearts in a special way that will make him live on forever. The Pfeffer Funeral Home, Manitowoc, is assisting the family with funeral arrangements.
