Myron worked at Rockwell Collins in Cedar Rapids, for nearly 40 years, retiring in 2005. He was a member of the IBEW Local 1362.
Myron enjoyed watching sports of all kinds, especially NHRA races. He loved his children and grandchildren more than anything and his furry faithful companions, Dolly and Freddy, watched over him and brought him comfort during his long illness.

He is also survived by his brothers and sisters-in-law, Larry (Sue) Scott of Independence, Iowa, Mike Scott of Urbana, Iowa, Ruben (Karen) Scott of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Nile (Pat) Scott and Jim (Blain Moncrief) Scott, all of Texas, and Linda Davenport of Cedar Falls, Iowa; and his mother-in-law, Marilyn Scott of Independence, Iowa.
He was preceded in death by his parents; one sister, Sandra De La Mater; one brother, Gordon Mohr; his father-in-law, Robert Scott; and sister-in-law, Cindy Scott.
The family would like to thank UnityPoint Hospice for the exceptional care provided to Myron. Also, they wish to thank the EMTs at Center Point Ambulance and Fire Department who have always been there for them.
