Wallace Demont "Wally/Gator/Baby Boy" Scott Jr.

Mr. Wallace Demont Scott, Jr., was born on December 29, 1957 at Kent General Hospital in Dover, DE. His parents Wallace, Sr. and Julia Scott; paternal and maternal grandparents, Herbert and Mary Scott, Innus and Vaughn May all preceded him in death. His peaceful departure on Thursday evening, August 24, 2017, ended his carnal journey. Where do I begin my baby brother’s remarkable life journey? Well, I’ll start with the introduction of Big Wallace, our dad, to Julia, our mother by her first cousin, Reynolds and sister in-law to be Marian. In 1957, the second of two children born to their union, this “gentle teaser” from heaven, came into our midst. Well this tiny “baby boy” became the “joy and terror” of many of our hearts. This lovable risk-taker kept everyone on their toes. You never knew when he would injure himself doing daredevil stunts or make your heart melt with those popping eye looks and ridiculous smile. Wallace grew up in the Frederica/Felton area of Delaware. His formal education began at Union Elementary School, where he was taught by our aunt, Ola Tildon, for the 1st and 2nd grades. She readily handled this little mischief maker with her gentle, no-nonsense demeanor. From grades 3-6 he attended the Frederica East Elementary School, after desegregation. Gator went to WT Chipman, JR High School in Harrington, DE. There, he gained the admiration of several females who became longtime friends; as well as forged many male friendships that lasted all of their lives. Wally attended Lake Forest High School. Soon after his graduation, he enlisted in the US Army where he honorably served as a military policeman. Gator had various occupations. He worked at Kling’s Meat Market, Milford Glass and Mirror Company, local canning factories, Bennett’s Action Glass in Dover, and became an assistant manager at Murry's Food Mart. Wallace also worked at DAFB Wash Rack along with several of his relatives. From there, “Baby Boy” went to an Apartment Complex Construction Job, in Montgomery, AL, working along with his former brother-in-law. Later, Lil’ Wallace became the maintenance facilitator and was given an apartment. Wallace has been correcting us from calling him Lil’ Wallace for several years now. He was small in stature, but strong as an ox. You’d better be careful trying to mess with him, his family, or any of his friends. Wallace’s daughter LaTonya was the epitome of “Daddy’s little girl” to him. They were great friends and shared a bond that death cannot release. He nicknamed her, “Stormi.” She was the pride of his life. Wallace married his soulmate, Alfreda. They were always joking and laughing when they weren’t fussing and feuding. LOL It was a happy union filled with reality, much love and kindness. Gator lived in several U S states including Alabama, Texas, Virginia, California, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware. He was a traveling man, a very good handy man, a gentleman’s gentleman (like our Dad). Wallace is pleased to be traveling with the Lord now. He said: “I’m ready when He calls me.” He has a multitude of family members and friends, of all ages who loves him and who he loved. Our Uncle Bubbie was very special to him. He called him “Q”, but never told us why. I shall not and I cannot list by name every brother/friend or sister/friend who he adopted in his lifetime. Each and every one of you know who you are. Your relationships with your “Baby Boys” status are a testament to the facts. If you were a part of Wally’s World, male or female, living or deceased, you were loved and blessed by his acquaintance. Family, friends, employers, employee’s, strangers and everyone he met, loved this astonishing comedian/prankster. He prayed for himself and everybody he loved daily. He thanked Jehovah for his bountifully blessed life. He knew his journey was and is, in God’s Hands. He’s being lifted Higher and Higher to be with the Lord. He shall be in our hearts and memories forever and always. Cherishing his memory always are his dear and loving wife, Tookie; his loving and devoted daughter, LaTonya; and her adoring children, Thomas, Nakiem, Kelis; great grandson T’III; Also lovingly, his children of love Chrystlyn (Leon), Shalondra, Cassandra (Jarrett), Tameka (Terry), Norman, Stephen (Aisha) and their 25 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren; his older brother and sisters, Edward, Lois, and Alicia; baby sister of love Torey; their adoring 24 nephews and nieces and their offspring; three loving paternal aunts, Carolyn, Marian and Dorothy; his loving maternal “Diva” Aunt Olive and Uncle Bubbie; a multitude of admiring cousins; hordes of other relatives and many, many friends. His light has dimmed. His countenance still twinkles and his love remains pure and sweet forever. Wally’s world has a shining light beaming down on all of us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
