Condolences
The family of Scott A. Hady has received the following condolences.
I'm so sorry for your loss. The Hady family lived right down the street from my family. We grew up playing outside in our quiet Rose Harbor neighborhood. Even though I lost contact with many Rose Harbor friends, I sure remember all the great memories we shared growing up. Scott still wore that mischievous smile. RIP Scott.
Jackie,
I can’t put into words how sad it was to read about Scott’s passing.
I remember the first time we met him at the Farmer’s Market and my kids were selling donuts. He bought a dozen and then gave the kids way too much money and then told the boys to save it for their education. They still remember that.
When our church in Pine Island moved to a new location, we hired Action and they reconfigured much of our plumbing needs and he was a wealth of knowledge to our construction team.
If I had a problem at the house I could always call Scott to get an answer for any plumbing needs.
I always enjoyed talking to Scott about work, hobbies and life. We also enjoyed telling stories about attending that round school on the Southside of Rochester.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Jackie and the family. He will be missed by many. Tom Wegner
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Scott was a great guy and so generous and helpful. We lost our heat in the winter a few years ago, and he came to our house immediately to help us. He will definitely be missed. Sending prayers and hugs to Jackie and all of his loving family and friends.
I'm so sorry for your loss of Scott. He was a dear friend and customer of mine. Sending prayers to the family.
Sincere condolences,
Tom Campbell
Praying you are at peace. I met Scott through my good friend and Scott's wife, Jackie Ruffalo-Hady. Scott was a very caring human being. When I was getting ready to sell my parents house, I called him. I was way in over my head. It was a beautiful house but had been neglected for years. Scott stepped up, big time. He told what I needed to address to put it on the market. Held a contractor party with people he had connections with. He helped me in a very stressful time of my life. He was gracious, professional, and blunt. I will forever remember his smile, his grace, his love of people. He and Jackie built a wonderful life together. My prayers go out to Jackie and Scott's family.
Oh Jackie, I am so sorry to hear this news. I was just a couple of days ago thinking of you and Scott. Wondering what was going on in your lives with your dogs. I remember meeting you with that dog you fed his meals as you walked around Silver Lake.
Again I am so sorry for your loss. I will make sure Shelly gets this sad news. We loved when we were in Essex with you.

I'm so sorry to hear about Scott's passing and was eager to get to the memorial service to pay my respects, but will be out of town that weekend (returning our daughter to college). My memories of Scott go way back to being teammates in little league baseball, all the way to high school at Mayo. While I had not seen Scott since then, I remember him like it was yesterday. Competitive, tough, gritty - and through it all - that infectious smile of his. May his family find comfort in all of the wonderful memories you hold so dear.
Scott - RIP, my friend. I enjoyed being part of your early journey.
