Albert

Scott

Albert George Scott whom was affectionately known as "Scotty or Butcher" was born March 24, 1938 in Duncans Trelawny Parish, Jamaica WI.   Albert was the last of three children born to his Mother Iona Underhill Scott and Father Emmanuel Scott. As a child Albert loved the outdoors which helped to develop his love of gardening.  He could often be found swimming and would later reminisce about the many days he spent crabbing with his cousins and friends. It was also in his teenage years that he found his passion that would become his life long career as an electrician.

Albert worked as Licensed Electrician for almost 60 years but he was really proud of many projects that he worked on as a member of the Electricians Trade Union Local 3.  Although Albert was an electrician by trade, he was the jack of all trades as he routinely planned and worked on many renovations' projects in his homes and the homes of his family and friends.

After a long career, Albert retired in September 2001 but he continued to be the go to repair man for friends, family and neighbors. Retirement allowed Albert and his wife Dorethea to spend much more time at their home in North Carolina. He spent many leisure days in the country tending to his garden and relaxing with his grandfather in law Finley Lloyd and father in law Henry Lloyd. His time in North Carolina also allowed him to spend time with is grandchildren from Virginia, New York, and New Jersey.

At home in New Jersey, he could be found whistling loudly as he gardened, listened to oldies but goodies, watched baseball and boxing, and cared for his beloved dog Lilo who passed on June 25, 2020.

In 2016, Albert was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and Dementia but that did not stop him from continuing to live and love life. He was very independent and love to do stuff on his own without any assistance. And although he was no longer practicing his trade, he marveled at advising his son in-law and friends about how to run construction projects. He did not let his illness stop him from adding value to the life of his loved ones. He fought the good fight but Jehovah God knows your beginning and your end.

Albert leaves behind to cherish his memories his loving and dedicated wife Dorethea, sons Radcliffe, Albert Jr, and Rohan; daughters Andrea and Cassandra (son in law Edward), his sister Cassie , father in law Henry Lloyd, sister in law Alberta Roberts and host of grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family. He is preceded in death by his daughter Jacqueline Scott, his sister Joyce Grant and his mother in law Naomi Lloyd.

Albert was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend. The loss is immeasurable but so is the love left behind. You will be sorely missed.
