Robert M. Scott, 90, resident of Osgood Pond, Paul Smiths, passed away Saturday, Nov. 5, 2016, in St. Louis, Missouri, precipitated by a sudden stroke on Wednesday, Nov. 2.

Robert is survived by his daughters E. Theresa “Terri” Keller (Tim) in Arizona and Katherine McDaniel (Jerry) in Missouri; five grandchildren: Bob, Trish, Chris, Franki, Kasey (AZ) and eight great-grandchildren (AZ).
Robert and Elizabeth loved the Adirondacks, hiking, canoeing, cross-country skiing, were members of the ADK and after winterizing their summer home on Osgood, retired there full time for 30 years after his successful career of being a freelance artist in New York City.
Robert and Elizabeth were dedicated to preserving the loon populations in the Adirondacks and on Osgood. They worked with state and local agencies to prevent invasive species from entering the Osgood and surrounding lakes or ponds.
There will be a small private memorial service in the early summer 2017 at Osgood Pond for his dear friends left behind.
