Scott Aaron Rosenthal

Scott Rosenthal, 68, of Austintown, Ohio, passed away on April 21, 2026. He was born
on October 21, 1957, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the son of Alex and Barbara Rosenthal.

Scott is survived by his siblings, Randall and Renee. He was the cherished grandson of
Sam & Sara Rosenthal, and Robert & Belle Goldblum.

He was a graduate of Rayen High School, Class of 1975, and went on to earn his
undergraduate degree in capital political science from Kent State University

Scott lived a life marked by curiosity and quiet passion as he traveled all across North
America. After Kent State, he moved to Wyoming to work at Yellowstone National Park, then to
North Dakota to work on the oil derricks, and later to Colorado as part of a catering company
which would later serve President Ronald Reagan himself. From there he worked as a private
investigator in California. Then capping it all off by backpacking from Laredo, Texas all the way
to Mexico City, Mexico. He would then return home to Ohio to pursue higher education.

Scott set his sights on becoming an attorney and graduated from the University of Akron
School of Law. He often joked that he didn't know why he became a lawyer, and remarked that if
he was a lawyer no one could call him a bum. He once shared with his sister that "It was
important to him as a lawyer to be able to work for the down trodden who might not otherwise
have a voice or the ability and access to obtain legal guidance", a principle he carried
throughout his work. His practice spanned a range of cases, from workers' compensation and
personal injury to appearances before the Ohio Court of Appeals.

A voracious reader, his home reflected his love of knowledge. He maintained a massive
collection of books, magazines, and newspapers. His dedication to staying informed was
unmatched.

Scott’s greatest devotion in his later years was to his vehicles. He spent countless hours
caring for and perfecting each one, treating them as labors of love. His van held special
significance, he drove it each year to Louisiana to visit his grandmothers' grave at Greenwood
Cemetery in Shreveport.

To the lay person Scott was a man of few words, but in truth there were few who could
speak more eloquently, he just preferred to avoid unnecessary entanglements. However his
actions spoke volumes. He leaves behind a legacy of begrudging kindness, dedication, and
quiet strength. Scott will be missed and lovingly remembered by his family, friends, and
community.

Scott maintained a lasting connection to his family, regularly donating to Ohav Sholom
Congregation in Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania, where His Parents and Grandparents are laid to
rest. In his memory, contributions may be made to Howard Balis, 313 Rolling Drive, Belle
Vernon, PA 15012.
