Condolences to the Family of Rev. Joe A. Scott

I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family of Rev. Joe A. Scott. I first remember his dedicated service as the director of the Bruce Community Center, a role he fulfilled faithfully for many years. During that same time, he also served as the devoted pastor of the Great St. John #1 Missionary Baptist Church in Tiptonville. Rev. Scott was truly a giant within the Mississippi Valley District Association of the National Baptist Convention, Inc. His steady leadership, compassionate spirit, and tireless service to both church and community made a lasting impact.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. Once again, my sincere condolences to the family. May his legacy continue to inspire.
