Robert “Scott” Smith, 58, died peacefully at home on Oct. 11, 2018. He was born Jan. 18, 1960, in Charlotte, N.C., and moved to Honeoye Falls, N.Y., when he was nine. He graduated from HFL High School in 1979 and a decade later moved to Dallas, where he spent the rest of his life.
Scott was a wise and thoughtful person. A dear friend remembers meeting him as he worked on his daily crossword puzzle, accumulating knowledge as he went. He had an incredible memory for history, politics, music, pop culture and fun family facts. This, along with a sharp sense of intelligent wit and humor, helped make Scott a great conversationalist.
The love and joy that nieces and nephews brought Scott was very special. He was always interested and proud of what they were doing in their lives. In return Scott blessed Cody, Taylor, Skyler and Savanna with lifelong wisdom and memories.
Scott was preceded in death by his parents, June (Lord) and Robert Smith. He is survived by his siblings, Tim (Deb), Greg (Kim) and Peggy; four nieces and nephews, and a very special friend, Jerry Hill.
