We loved Scoop! When we moved to Riverside Estates in 2002 we would see him out walking his dogs in the neighborhood and he would always waive to us. I still remember chatting with him about his college days at Duke where he was on the track team. He was quite exceptional and his family should be very, very proud. I know it’s a difficult loss, I lost my father some years back, but we should consider ourselves blessed to have been able to spend time with him for so many good years. Our prayers are with the family, now and forever.
Scoop will be missed by all of his neighbors. We loved getting to know him, hearing about his days as a college athlete, seeing his eyes twinkle when he spoke about Audrey, and basking in his always positive attitude. May he rest in peace!

Mr. Scoop was well loved by the Hammond Glen community, and he will be greatly missed ………. May he rest in heavenly peace
I had to miss the funeral as I was in El Salvador doing ministry. However, Bill Scupine was like a Dad to me when I was in seminary. Bill and Audrey took me in as a part of their family. I’ll never forget the night we stayed up to 4am and talking about Jesus. Audrey cooked pancakes. Always a great time with Scup and Audrey.
