Scott Alan Hartman was born May 17, 1958, to Maxine Donna (Bolinger) Hartman and Dale Dean Hartman in Omaha, Nebraska. Scott grew up in Creston and graduated with the class of 1977 at Creston High School. Scott was an active wrestler and participated in other sports as well as did body building for many years. He later attended SWCC, where he earned his masonry degree. He worked in masonry with his father in the 1970s and then moved back to Creston.
Scott shared his first daughter, Carrie, with Laurie Abell. He was united in marriage to Michelle Dingman Sept. 25, 1982. Together they had two children, Sara and Tony. They later divorced. Scott worked in manufacturing at Wellman and Gits Manufacturing in Creston and PPI in Corning after moving to Corning in 2009.
On Oct. 13, 2018, Scott was united in marriage to Angela (Huber) Longfellow in Red Oak. He was a member of the First Baptist Church in Red Oak. He was a little league coach for over 30 years. He always believed kids will never remember whether you won or lost, but they will always remember how you made them feel and they loved him. He would sooner spend time with kids than adults.
Scott never knew a stranger and was kind and caring to everyone he met. Scott was a leader in his church, very strong in his faith and he learned from his mother. Scott was a big man with a gentle heart and a huge personality. He will be greatly missed by many.
