Scott Cory [1968-1988] was among the 270 victims of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland on December 21, 1988. He was a junior in Syracuse University's School of Management, and was studying abroad in London through the Division of International Programs Abroad (DIPA). Scott was survived by his parents, John and Doris Cory; and two brothers, John Jr. and James.
Scott was described by his parents as having "an infectious exuberance for life...and irrepressible sense of humor, and brought joy to those around him."
A memorial scholarship was established in Scott's name at Old Lyme High School in his hometown of Old Lyme, Connecticut.
