In Memory

Hector Lloyd Armando Scott passed away Feb. 23, 2020, in Hartford, Conn. He started out with the class of 1972 but left during sophomore year, returning to graduate with the class of 1974. Hector was born in Kingston, Jamaica. His parents moved to the Hartford area when he was a boy. He grew up there surrounded by his many siblings—three sisters and nine brothers. After Amherst, he started a family in Hartford and worked as a counselor for many years at Cedarcrest Hospital in Newington, Conn.

Several classmates, including Eric Cody ’72, recall Hector as a teammate on the freshman soccer team. Bernie Barbour ’72 recently reminded me of his winning smile. I also remember his melodious voice and expressions. Hector liked engaging in spirited debate. At dinner in Valentine, whenever anyone made a questionable comment, he’d say: “For crying out loud!” in an exasperated tone. I didn’t know he had been an outstanding member of Hartford Public High School’s debate team. Once he invited me home during a holiday weekend. The weekend seemed like a family reunion, and I quickly felt like Hector’s cousin. With so much food, rum and laughter, and so many siblings and cousins coming and going all day and night, it was difficult to keep up.

Hector’s surviving siblings and relatives, as well as his two sons and daughter and his nine grandchildren, will also have many memories to cherish. I was saddened by the news of his passing. Peace to his spirit.

The classes of ’72 and ’74 extend our heartfelt sympathies to Hector’s family.

Horace Porter ’72
