Scot Shear Obituary

Scot was predeceased by his wife, Kathy (Abelin) Shear. They were married on May 27th, 1995, in Chaplin, CT. They were happily married for 26 years. Scot had a heart of gold and a free spirit. He lived on his own terms. He was a family man and loved everyone. He worked as a Sawyer for Scotland Hardwood’s for 29 years. He enjoyed joking around, he was the life of the party. He had a joy for flying kites higher than the clouds, tinkering on cars or should we say anything with a motor. He was looking forward to retirement. Within the last few years, he began racing his RC cars around the yard and enjoyed bird watching. He was great at building 500-pound picnic tables and tending his garden.
