    Scott Dirckze (1929 – 2019) : An Appreciation

    Humanitarian. Corporate Leader. Entrepreneur. Agriculturist. Raconteur. Citroen Aficionado. Historian. Classical musicophile. Art Collector. Consummate Host. Explorer. Gentleman. Friend. These are a few of the words that are synonymous with the name Scott Dirckze to many even though he will first always be Uncle Scott to me.
