He was born December 19, 1939 in Northport, MI to Elliot and Georgia (Peterson) Scott.

Bow proudly owned and operated his trucking business for nearly 40 years before retiring.

Never one to shy away from hard work, Bow continued to work after retirement farming; it was something he always enjoyed doing growing up on the family farm. In his younger days, he found joy on the golf course and had an appreciation for classic cars. He was dedicated to working hard throughout his life, and his family takes great solace in knowing his body is now at rest.

Bow will be missed by his wife of 37 years, Nancy (Jesswein) Scott, whom he married on July 22, 1989 in Benton
