Desmond Scott

Desmond Scott was born June 4, 1931, to the parents of Elezebeth Scott and Adme Brown in the Parish of St. Catherine, Jamaica, West Indies. He attended Wakes-Field All Age School. After leaving school, he worked for the Ja. Telephone Company. By the time he left for England in 1954, he was the father of four children, Eunell, Winston, Mavis, and Fitz. Shortly after, he sent for the love of his life, Miriam, to join him. Shortly after they joined in holy matrimony, the union produced another child, who preceded him in death. In England, he worked at Ricey, the company that makes Rolls Royce cars as we know it today. He later became a bus driver, and after a number of years, he migrated to the USA. He lived in New York, where he operated a Limousine Company of his own, until he moved to Florida, in 2013 to live with his son, Fitz, until his death on June 5th, 2020. He leaves to mourn: his four children, Eunell, Winston, Mavis, and Fitz; one brother, Bradley; 16 grandchildren; 22 great-grandchildren; and a host of relatives and friends.
