James Scott Bleazard

Bleazard, James Scott, age of 72, passed away June 13, 2020. He was born in Atlantic City NJ and he grew up in Absecon NJ. He then lived in Brooklyn NY, Monmouth County NJ and Narrowsburg NY, before moving to Kennett Square PA to be near his grandchildren. He graduated from Rutgers University, and remained a devoted Scarlet Knight Fan since then. He was a dedicated worker for the State of New York in Social Services, before retiring at age 55. After retirement, he continued on as an advocate for children in foster care within the court system. This was one of the many ways he showed his love of fighting for justice and the underdog. In his free time, he enjoyed working on his tennis and golf game as a member of Dupont Country Club, and participating in any activity that involved being outdoors in nature. He was a true athlete at heart and loved all things sports. He was also the biggest supporter at the sidelines of his grandchildren’s sporting events all year round, rarely ever missing a game.

Scott is predeceased by his parents, Arthur and Alice Bleazard, and his first wife, Ronni Bleazard. He is survived by his children, Caryn and Ben; his grandchildren, Preston and Rylee; his ex-wife, Marlena; and his brothers, Bob (Carol) and George (Patty); as well as his devoted friend, Karen Hall.
