Scott was a very outgoing and easy person to get along with. He was a great impression to anyone he came in great contact with. His favorite holiday season was Mardi Gras and his favorite parade was The Krewe of Hercules. He enjoyed being around all his Hercules friends. Scott couldn’t wait for the Hercules parades every year. He also loved sports, the NBA and NFL. He had many favorite players between the two. Scott’s favorite NFL team was the Pittsburgh Steelers and he was a Big Antonio Brown fan. When it came to the NBA, it was different. He was a big Jrue Holiday, Kyrie Irving, and LeBron James fan. His favorite two teams in the NBA were the New Orleans Pelicans and Cleveland Cavaliers.
