"J. Scott"- I think that's John Scott "Sonny", my neighbor as I was growing up on Center Park Street. I remember visiting him in his bedroom with his leg in traction, I think from a football injury.

Jim was a cherished friend and creative coworker. We enjoyed many gatherings after basketball games, his delicious recipes he would share in the faculty room at Oswayo Valley Elementary school, and his joyful laughter. We fondly display the Christmas ornaments he made for our sons, Brian and Chris.Jim will always have a special place in our hearts.Mary and Dan Stavisky
