Arthur “Scott” McKinney, age 65, of Stormville, NY, died at home Saturday, December 5, after an 8 month battle against lung cancer. He was preceded in death by his parents, Oscar and Edna, and he is survived by his devoted wife, Karen, and loving daughter, Jennifer and her husband Michael.

Scott was a kind, caring human being, a true Southern gentleman. He enjoyed all of his trips to the South, the source of much of the music that meant so much to him. Scott played bass in several bands, ranging from country to blues, but the blues was his passion. He loved going to concerts and collecting guitar picks from his favorite musicians.
