Obituary for Scott W. Szymanski
Scott W. Szmanski, 50, passed away on September 16, 2020.
Scott was a sensitive, compassionate and caring soul. Scott, who was fondly known as Shemp, was loved by everyone who knew him. He had a big heart and loved making people laugh and helped anyone in need. Scott loved music and traveled with friends all over the country to see his favorite bands, including the Grateful Dead, Phish and many others. Scott also enjoyed snowboarding, kayaking, trips to the beach, and sitting by the fire.
He was a skilled carpenter and handy around the house. He loved animals and they always loved him back tenfold. He was an artist to the core and a romantic at heart.
Scott was extremely proud of his business, Rolling Spirits, which he conceived and expanded over ten years. This business allowed him to spread his positive energy everywhere he went.
Before starting Rolling Spirits, Scott was a teacher at Beverly Hills Middle School and Upper Darby School District. He was also a licensed realtor with Snyder Real Estate.

Scott is also survived by aunts, uncles, cousins, many nieces and nephews, and by friends all over the country.
