ST. ALBANS: William H. Scott Jr., age 88, passed away peacefully on January 2, 2023, at his home. He was born in Malden on July 20, 1934, the son of William and Lillian Whalen Scott.
Upon graduating from high school, Bill entered the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict. Upon his return, William married Phyllis Draper on June 16, 1957.
Bill was employed by Whitman and Howard Engineering in Boston. He served as a law enforcement officer with the Northboro Police Department in Massachusetts for nine years. After, he and Phyllis moved to St. Albans, where he became the Director of Public Works for the City, retiring in 1997. Bill was an integral part of setting up the Little Mites Hockey Program. He was the chief referee for the AHAUS here in Vermont. He was very involved with his grandchildren. After Bill retired, he did some side electrical work with his dear friend Reggie Austin. He will be fondly remembered for his love of sharing his memories as words to live your life by.
