William Sydney Scarth, Jr.
March 9, 1940 — January 2, 2024
William Sydney Scarth, Jr., passed into eternity peacefully on January 2, 2024, at the age of 83.
William ("Bill" or "Buddy") grew up in New York and was the eldest child in a large family. As a small child, his picture won a photography contest in New York City, and he was handsome all of his 83 years. As a young man, he served in the National Guard and later enjoyed a life-long career working as an analyst for Northrup Grumman, most recently with the Joint Stars program for the United States Department of Defense. He lived most of his life in New England, relocating to Savannah, Georgia, in retirement, where he lived and danced with his sweetheart, Ms. Anna Ramberg for the remainder of his life.
William always had a wonderful appreciation for adventure, nature, music, theatre, and dancing. He belonged to many charitable organizations and social clubs, including the Elks Club and Toastmasters. A lifelong lover of learning, he had several hobbies, including photography, gardening, traveling, and reading. Bill was known to be a lover of people, was quick to encourage living well and striving for excellence. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends and watching his grandchildren grow and flourish.
Mr. Scarth was preceded in death by his parents, William Sydney Scarth, Sr., and Vera Neal Scarth; sister, Jewel Scarth; brothers, Douglas Scarth and Bobby Scarth; his beloved daughter Laura Ann Scarth; and grandson Adam Scarth.
Surviving him are his brother Barry Scarth of Islip, New York, and sister Sharon Doolittle of Pennsylvania; his children, Tara Leigh Jeffers of Metter, GA, and Jeremy Linscott Scarth of Springfield, GA; grandchildren Linscott Tomlinson (Sara), Annalee Coleman (Justin), Guy Prokop, Dagan Scarth, Mason Scarth, and Lacy Jeffers; and Great-Grandchildren Landon and Lily Coleman and Harley and Ellie Tomlinson.
A Memorial service is planned for Saturday, January 13, 2024, at 12pm, at the Elks Lodge #183 in Savannah, GA.
Remembrances may be made to Bill's favorite organizations including the Elks Club, World Wildlife Federation, and The Red Cross.
