Robert Llewllyn Scott

  Robert “Bud” Scott died peacefully in Dover NH on July 26, 2017.   “Bud” was born the youngest son of Viola (Johnson) Scott Bolstridge and Vaughn Scott on April 29, 1930 in Bangor, Maine.   As a child, Bud spent time in Otis, Maine at the family farm on Beech Hill Pond, but grew up in Dover, NH at the home of his mother and stepfather, Chester Bolstridge. As a young man Bud traveled out west, and eventually joined the United States Air Force, serving in different locations during the Korean Conflict. Bud married Barbara Foster of Brewer, Maine on January 8, 1953, and they lived in England. Returning to the states, Bud and Barbara built a home in Dover, NH.   Bud worked at various construction jobs in the early years, taking pride in his large garden, and a small farm with some animals. Later he was head of maintenance at Pease Air Force Base housing and continued at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, until Barbara and Bud purchased Pine Cove Motel in Ossipee NH on Duncan Lake, which they ran for many years.   Bud had many interests in his life, including gardening, photography, and restoring antique wood stoves. He received his pilot’s license and owned two planes, Cessna 140s, which he flew from and landed in his own field. A highlight of his life was giving his grandmother her one and only airplane flight. A music lover, he enjoyed singing barbershop, and was a member of the Yankee Clipper Chorus.   Bud was a born-again Christian, a member of the Full Gospel Businessman’s Fellowship, and a Gideon. Not always an easy man, he laughed and joked with everyone.   Bud is predeceased by his mother and father, and brother David Bolstridge. He is survived by his brothers Leo Scott of Dover and John Bolstridge of Wells, Maine; and sisters Gladys Merrill of Rochester NH and Iver Crosby of Bangor, Maine. Along with his wife, Barbara, he leaves children Debra Miller of East Wakefield NH, Randall Scott of Ossipee NH, Daniel Scott of Nashville, TN, and Timothy Scott of Rochester NH, and grandchildren and great grandchildren.
