brance was held June 28 for longtime builder Scott Park of Park Place Homes. He passed away unexpectedly on June 21 at age 72. Scott was a past president of the Dallas BA’s Metro East Division, and served on the Association’s board of directors. He was a Texas Association of Builders director and an alternate director of the National Association of Home Builders. In addition, he also volunteered his time on the Civil Service Commis- sion at the City of Garland. Scott began his career in real es- tate immediately after graduation from Texas Tech in 1972, and for 40 of the last 44 years was a partner alongside his brother Todd at the Garland-based custom homebuilding company, which was founded by their father. Park Place Homes has been a Dallas BA member since 1975. Scott was a great fan of college football and especially his beloved Red Raiders. “At some point he would be yelling at the TV about a referee’s bad call or the coach for calling a bone headed play,” Todd recalls. “Many a Monday morning were spent critiquing that weekend’s games.” Later in life, he developed an interest in Formula I racing. Scott also had a passionate interest in history and aviation, particularly the World
Scott Park War II era. For years, he was an ac - tive member of the Confederate Air Force, primarily serving as a ground marshal, and occasionally an air boss directing planes during air shows all over the country. He also served as a docent at the Frontiers of Flight Museum at Love Field for many years. Survivors include his wife Kelly; three daughters, Kristan (Chris) Clink- scales of Abilene, Andrea Park of Wylie, and Erica (Donnie) Brunson of Wylie; six grandchildren, Austin, Colby, Brady, Reese, Parker and Blakely; and his brother Todd (Lynn) Park of Garland. In lieu of flowers, Scott would have appreciated a memorial to any lo - cal animal control or adoption shelter.
