A family memory of Travis Paul Scott (1941-2016) 
Adair County was deeply saddened when the news came of the passing on August 8, 2016, of an Adair County treasure, Travis Paul Scott, the man who endeared himself to thousands since he was a boy growing up on Graded Hill in Columbia. He had a disarming President Dwight Eisenhower smile, a keen intellect, and had the rare quality of being staunchly partisan, fiercely devoted to his teams, and an almost obsessive interest in sports - all that while never being disagreeable with those he disagreed with. Everyone who knew Travis Paul Scott have wonderful memories, none more than his loving and beloved family. The tribute below is from them. - CMFrom the Family of Travis Paul Scott Travis Paul Scott was born March 2, 1941 to the late Travis Roscoe and Cuiver Eva Sewell Scott he passed away on August 4, 2016 at his home after a long battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife of 45 years Pam Janes Scott, one son Mike Scott and his wife Crisst, one granddaughter Raven Helm and two nieces Jennifer Perkins and Leslye Baldwin. A host of family and friends also survive. Besides his parents he was preceded in death by his sister Sharlene Scott Davis. He was a Methodist, a Republican, and a Constitutional scholar Mr. Scott was a member of the Columbia United Methodist Church and donated to many charities and causes throughout the years. he was also known as an ardent supporter of the Republican Party and committed to his beliefs in the constitution of the United States. He was a long time educator, athletic director, and coach for 31 1/2 years. He was a graduate of LWJC, Campbellsville College, and an educator He graduated with a two year degree from Lindsey Wilson Junior College, then finished his teaching degree at Campbellsville College. After teaching one year in the Jefferson County public schools at Western high school, he moved back to Columbia and worked as the recreation director at Lake Cumberland State Park for a year. Then for the next 30 1/2 years, Travis Paul taught in the Adair County school system. He taught at the old Columbia Grade Center, Shepherd Grade center, and Adair County High School. Though his teaching degree was in physical education, he had a minor in history allowing him to also teach American history, world geography, and civics during his teaching career. For those who knew him, they knew of his love of sports, the only thing that came close to his love of God and family. While also teaching, he coached baseball and basketball at the grade school level, was an assistant high school football and baseball coach, and had two tenures, one in the early to mid-1970s and one in the early 1990s as head baseball coach at ACHS. He also served as the athletic director at the high school for 10 years. He was a regular at most Adair County sports events He saw every KHSAA basketball championship from 1954 to 2015 He loved to attend the Kentucky high school boys basketball state tournament. Until this past year he had not missed a championship game since 1954, and he had watched every game played in the state tournament since 1964, over 750 games during that time. His best memories of the state tournament were sitting on the beach with Coach Keith Young's 1995 regional champions as their bookkeeper and in 2007 and 2009 with Coach Mark Fudge's champions (with son Mike as an assistant coach) as a statistician. He loved almost all sports competition, but baseball was his sport of choice He enjoyed watching any baseball or college basketball game on television, while watching a little college football, golf, and NASCAR. Baseball was always his sport of choice, being an avid fan of the new York Yankees, St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds. He and son Mike Scott could be found in Cincinnati when the Reds were in tow During the 1970s through the early 1990s, Mr. Scott and his son Mike could be found in Cincinnati every weekend that the Reds were home during the baseball season and Mike didn't have a game himself. Some of the highlights from his time attending Reds games included seeing a no-hitter by Rick Wise of the Phillies while he also hit two homeruns, catching a foul ball by Hall of Famer Barry Larkin the day the Reds clinched the National League Western division title in 1990, he and Mike attending the National League Championship series that same year, and attending the World Series in Cincinnati in 1975, 1976 and 1990. -- Tribute from the family of Travis Paul Scott This story was posted on 2016-08-07 10:39:51
