Obituary of Scott Bingham

Bingham, Scott (“Scotty”), formerly of Miami, passed away Monday, August 9, 2021 at the age of 72, in Ocala, FL.

 

Scott was a loving husband to his Miami Killian High sweetheart of 48 years, Judy Bingham (Sofge) and a wonderful father to their daughter Becky, whom he dearly loved. He shared a special bond with his son-in-law Brian and thoroughly enjoyed being “Pop Pop” to his darling granddaughter, Grace.

 

Scott’s love for aviation began at an early age flying control line airplanes with his father. He earned his glider rating by the age of 14 and obtained his license for private powered aircraft by 17. Scott attended Miami Dade and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University where he pursued a career in aviation and became a corporate pilot for Southeast Banks and Florida Power and Light.

 

Scott was also a certified flight instructor in aircraft, helicopters and gliders. He enjoyed teaching aspiring pilots of all ages and sharing his love for all things “aviation”.

 

Scott is preceded in death by his father, Captain Harold D. Bingham and mother, Elizabeth. He is survived by his wife, Judy; daughter, Becky Becker (Brian) and granddaughter, Grace; his sisters, Debbie Neely (Ken) and Carol Maggiore (Kevin), along with niece and nephews, Chris and Jeff Neely, Mike, Michele and Anthony Maggiore.

 

A private family service will be held September 4th at Hiers-Baxley Funeral Home, 910 E. Silver Springs Blvd., Ocala, FL. Regretfully, due to Covid concerns, a Celebration of Life has been postponed and may be possible at a future date.
