Scott R. McCoy Sr. 68, of West Haven, beloved husband of Gigi Armstrong, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on July 4, 2025.
Born on September 4, 1956, to the late Susan H McCoy. Scott was born and raised in Milford, Connecticut, and later made his home in West Haven. Throughout his life, Scott pursued a variety of careers that reflected his many talents, including industrial painting, ironwork, auto body work, and automotive repair.
Scott had a passion for the outdoors and could often be found fishing, relaxing by the beach, or hunting for “treasures” during his frequent junking adventures—always finding a way to restore and repurpose with his skilled hands. He took great pride in his vegetable gardens, sharing his harvest with family and friends.
