Scott Auer

Scott Auer, loving husband, father, son and brother has passed away. Scott enjoyed a long and successful career with Lanier as a specialist in international HR matters. Because of his expertise, he was asked to travel the world for the company solving employment problems on three continents. Travel was a passion of Scott's so when the company asked him to move from Atlanta to Brussels, Belgium, he didn't waffle. He moved his family to Brussels where they lived for seven years. Later in his career, he took a position in Singapore. A 1971 graduate of Bethany College, Scott married Virginia Wheatcroft in 1982 and had two sons, Chris and Colin. Scott loved life, family and travel. He maintained lifelong relationships wherever he went. He was always visiting or being visited by his myriad of friends and family, including his high school, college, Brussels, lake and Atlanta friends. He particularly enjoyed planning and attending the Auer/Wheatcroft family reunions every summer in Hilton Head. He was a loving husband who became primary caregiver for Virginia after she was stricken with Parkinson's and Multiple Systems Atrophy. He was there for Virginia throughout her ordeal until her death in 2014. He was close with his father, Chuck and his sister Claudia and they spent quality time together whenever they could. Several years ago, Scott rekindled a close friendship with his college friend, Chalmers. They fell in love and got married in Charleston in October of 2017. They began their married life in Hilton Head. Scott had a great sense of humor and was quick to laugh, and always maintained a positive outlook on life, even in the face of tremendous challenges that he faced during the course of his life. He will be missed by all. Scott is survived by his wife, Chalmers and her daughter Kasey; his son Chris, wife Emily and their triplets Quinn, Logan and Wyatt; his son Colin, his wife Ashley and their soon to be born son, Harvey; his father, Chuck and his wife Jane; his sister Claudia and her husband, Kevin; brother in law Rob Wheatcroft, his wife Christine and their daughters Tess and Audrey and his niece Leigh and her husband, Phil. He was predeceased by his mother Muriel and wife, Virginia. Services and reception will be held at Poole Funeral Home, 1970 Eagle Drive, Woodstock, Georgia on Saturday, January 5. 2019 at 11 am. In lieu of flowers, a contribution to the American Bladder Cancer Society or the charity of your choice in memory of Scott would be greatly appreciated.
