Scott Maddux, 81, died Monday, March 22, 2021 at his home in Solebury, PA. A man with a powerful life force, it is hard to imagine him gone. He had a natural charm derived from a genuine interest in people.
Scott was an advocate of civil rights and justice, whose social work jobs included running a shelter for homeless families for many years. He was also an award winning photographer, a craft quality carpenter, a great surfer, a terrific dancer who loved all kinds of music and a bit of a car nut. He was an avid reader, with interests ranging from philosphical books in his younger days to mysteries more recently.
Scott grew up in Philadelphia and on a farm in Chester County. He attended Hoosac Preparatory School and Ursinus College and later did graduate studies in social work at Lincoln University. He served in Naval Air during the Cold War.
