With trumpeting angels and God standing at the pearly gates, David Leroy “Tatoo” Scott earned his wings on Monday, Sept. 25, 2023, at his home.

A lifelong resident of Donora and graduate of the Ringgold High School’s Class of 1972, Dave was a member of St. Michael’s Byzantine Catholic Church of Donora, drove bus for the Ringgold School District and loved riding his customized motorcycle.
