WILMINGTON — William Scott Teachey, 56, kept an appointment he had made with his heavenly father to go to his eternal home where there would be no more sadness or pain; he died at 2:20 p.m., Monday, May 1, 2017.
He was born Nov. 28, 1960, in Wilmington, N.C., the first son of William Maynard and Linda Pygott Wolfe Teachey.
Scott was an adventurer who enjoyed the outdoors, fishing, camping and hiking. He liked to dig for treasures, literally. Scott attended Anchorage Christian Schools and Hyles Anderson College. He was a meat cutter, a traveling salesman and an antique dealer. He could sell a tick to a dog.
