Richard S. Scott ’64

Dick died Feb. 10, 2024, in Glenshaw, Pa.

He graduated from Wyoming Seminary College Preparatory School in Kingston, Pa., where he played football and was active in various organizations. Dick followed his father and brother, Samuel 1926 and Samuel ’57, respectively, to Princeton, majoring in economics and joining Cloister Inn, where he was active in club sports.

After Princeton, he earned his LL.B./J.D. at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law before serving six years in the Navy, emerging as a lieutenant commander. He then joined his father’s law firm in Pittsburgh. Dick’s integrity, unwavering commitment to his clients and community, and compassionate approach earned him the respect and admiration of colleagues and clients alike. He was well known in the community for doing estate planning work for people with disabilities and their families and played a leading role in creating The Achieva Family Trust, a nonprofit organization that provides trustee services to beneficiaries with disabilities.

Dick enjoyed being outdoors, long walks, sailing with friends, pingpong, skiing, biking, kayaking, playing his 12-string guitar by an evening fire, and taking care of his cat, Monty.

The class offers its sympathies to his sons, Matthew and Joshua; to Joshua’s family; and to his two brothers and their families.
