Obituary

Scott Hendry Waldner, also known as "Tall", of Canton, GA, passed away at the age of 71 on June 30th, 2024. He was a loving father, brother, uncle and friend to so many. He had the biggest heart, kindest soul and gentlest demeanor to those he held dear. Born on May 29th, 1953 in Pittsburgh, PA, he grew up getting into everything and anything. He led an adventurous life filled with excitement, Harleys, Hobie cats, daughters, dune buggies and any body of water he could dip his toes into. He is preceded in death by his parents, Anne Randle Waldner and Craig McConnell Waldner, and a nephew. Scott leaves behind two daughters, Anne Waldner Rohling (Charles) and Victoria Rose Waldner (Leonard), three sisters, Wendy Flynn, Jo Anne Ebersold and Heidi Nufer (Peter), one brother, Craig McConnell Waldner, Jr. (Marlene), and many nieces and nephews. Scott dabbled in multiple craft, mechanical, machinery, and construction projects throughout his life including remodeling an award-winning van, manufacturing and mastering the art of Landsailing, whipping through the surf on his Hobie Cat, constructing renowned treehouses, building go-karts that terrorized the neighbors, and fabricating street legal dune buggies to teach the girls how to drive a stick shift in style. He dedicated over 20+ years as a supervisor and project manager in geotechnical construction for Nicholson Construction and Hayward Baker. He traveled nationally throughout his working career and had unique opportunities to provide his expertise including NASA, Ground Zero and collaborations on massive sinkhole reinforcements that measured football fields in multiple states. There is no denying the light in his life were his two girls. He loved supporting and cheering on Tori as she dominated throughout her basketball career at Milton High, Penn State, overseas and beyond. He proudly passed off his handy work skills to Anne Marie (a spitting image of her father) and loved watching her climb in her physical therapy career. Everyone who entered his home gazed in admiration at all of the photos, accolades, accomplishments and love-filled memories that covered his walls. His two girls hung the moon and sparkled the sky with stars for him. They were his whole world. A visitation and gathering to celebrate Scotts life will take place at Canton Funeral Home on Saturday, August 3rd, 2024 from 12:00-2:00pm, immediately followed by a memorial service.
