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.
