Thomas “Tom” Warren Scott Sr., 71, of Scotland, Connecticut, passed away peacefully October 28, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.

Tom was known for his quick wit, sarcastic humor, and infectious laughter. He had a remarkable ability to make those around him smile, often with a perfectly timed joke or a playful remark. His sense of humor was one of his most memorable qualities and something his family and friends will forever cherish.

An avid enthusiast of car racing, pool, poker, and volunteer firefighting, Tom enjoyed the thrill of competition and camaraderie that came with it, and laughter shared with others. Above all, Tom treasured spending time with his family and creating memories with those he loved. He spent most of his career as a mechanic (auto and small engine repair).

Tom is survived by his loving wife of 41 years, Kathleen (Koehler) Scott. He also leaves behind his children, Jamie (John) McCumber, Julie (Shane) Veatch, Steven Koehler, and Thomas “TJ” (fiancé Cristina) Scott Jr.; his grandchildren, Ashley (Nick) Sweet, Morgan Veatch, Addison Veatch, Jonathon McCumber, Alex McCumber and Abel Donahue; and his great-grandchildren, Charlie Sweet and Jamison McCumber.

He is also survived by his sisters, Judi (Richard) Chaluto, Joyce (Mark) Hatch, Nancy (Dave) Fowler, and Lori (Jude) O’Sullivan; his brothers, Russell Scott and Peter (MaryEllen) Scott; his father-in-law, Robert Koehler; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Tom was predeceased by his parents, Dorothy and Fred Deep; his father, Henry Scott; his brothers Edward Scott, Michael Scott and Stephen Scott; his son Paul Scott; and his mother-in-law, Joan Koehler.

Tom will be remembered for his unforgettable personality, his love of laughter, and the joy he brought to those fortunate enough to know him. His humor, stories, and the memories he created will live on in the hearts of his family and friends.

Funeral arrangements are being handled by Potter Funeral Home, 456 Jackson Street, Willimantic CT 06226. A private burial will be held at the convenience of the family.
