Harold James (Gus) Scott, 86, passed away peacefully on
Tuesday, December 14, 2021. Harold was born on March 4,
1935, in Cornwall, New York to the late Agnes and Harold J.
Scott. He lived in New York until moving to Wheaton,
Illinois in 1954 to attend Wheaton College, from which he
graduated in 1957. While at Wheaton, he met his life partner
and soulmate Marjorie Rexilius, and the two were wed on June
10, 1957, never to part until her passing on June 2, 2013.
He is survived by his son, James (Brandy) Scott; daughter

Elizabeth Scott - and three great grandchildren - Elijah,
Joshua, and Agnes VanTholen; and a sister, Nancy (Bill)

coach, Harold's love for his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
sustained him. He devoted himself to service to Lombard
Bible Church, his church of more than 64 years, where, among
other things, he taught a Sunday School class until the
spring of 2020, to many other areas of ministry, and to his
family and friends, who relied on his steadfast help, love,
encouragement and prayers. His life of love and faith was
complete and full, and he rests in the arms of his Lord, a
ransomed soul. In lieu of flowers, donations to Lombard
