Scott D. Fetterolf, 57, died Friday, November 23, 2007 from injuries sustained in an automobile accident.
He was born in Elyria, Ohio and had been an area resident for most of his life. He received a Masters Degree in Social Work from Youngstown State. He had been employed by numerous agencies including Child Guidance, Greensburg United Methodist Church and was most recently the owner and operator of Scott's Folkatorium. He was a member of Rivertree Christian Church and was a member of the Extra Miler Club whose motto is "The shortest distance between two points is no fun", one of the many themes of Scott's life.
Scott has been described as an eccentric collector and an eclectic musician. While his favorite things to collect were license plates, bobble head dolls and fruit stickers, he was more importantly a collector of stories and people's hearts. Scott loved to take time for odd and amazing things, but most amazing was his love for God, family and every person his wandering path crossed.
Scott is survived by his wife of 25 years, Judy (Lanham); daughters, Emily and Carly; mother, Dorothy (Hughes) Fetterolf; sister, Sallie Cherubin; sister-in-law, Debbie; mother and father-in law, Don and Erma Lanham; brother-in-law, Jim (Missy) Lanham; sister-in-law, Jane (John) Kennett; nine nieces and nephews; and was preceded in death by his brother, Randy in 2002; and his father, Peter in 2003.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday 11 a.m. at the Greensburg United Methodist Church. Rev. Keith McLaughlin and Rev. Bruce Baquette officiating. Interment Holy Cross Cemetery. The family will receive friends Monday 4 to 8 p.m. at the Anthony and Biscan Funeral Home, 4178 Massillon Rd. (corner of Massillon and Steese Rds. in Green). In lieu of flowers donations, may be made to the Haven of Rest or to a Scholarship Fund for Emily and Carly at any National City Bank Branch. (Anthony and Biscan, 330-899-9790, www.kakfh.com)
