The Bakersfield Californian 
Robert "Bob" Vining Scott 
November 5, 1921 - May 10, 2005

Robert Vining Scott (Bob) passed away May 10, 2005, a courageous victim of 
Alzheimers disease. He was born on November 5, 1921, in Floydada, Texas, the 
ninth and final child of Ruby and Ralston Scott.

He started college at Texas Tech but after Pearl Harbor, joined the Navy and 
completed his undergraduate work at Oklahoma State. As a Lieutenant he served 
as Radar Officer aboard the USS Goodhue in the Pacific. After the war, he 
married the love of his life, fellow Navy officer Ingeborg Wesemann, completed 
his Masters Degree at MIT, and went to work for Standard Oil as a production 
engineer and a mud man. He worked for Standard/Chevron for 39 years, several 
of those years in Saudi Arabia, retiring in 1985 in Concord, California. For 
the last four years he has lived in Bakersfield with his family: wife of sixty 
years, Ingeborg L. Scott; daughter, Gwen A. Scott; son, Robert Michael Scott 
and his wife, Teddie Lee Scott; his three grandchildren, Christie Scott, Erica 
Scott and John Scott; and his brother-in-law, Hans Wesemann. He is also 
survived by one brother, RC Scott of Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Bob is remembered by everyone whose life he touched, as an honest, hard 
working man. But truly he will be remembered by his family a humorous and 
gifted poet, a devoted master to many cherished pets, a talented man of skill 
and precision, a hard working man of great endurance, a generous man with his 
time and his money, and a man who strived his whole life to protect, provide 
for and love his family. We know he would want us to send his regards to all 
his Chevron Retiree and Petroleum Production Pioneer buddies. Military at sea 
burial is planned. No public services are planned.
