Robert “Scott” Cornett, born September 22, 1961, in Syracuse, NY, departed this world on October 29, 2026, surrounded by family after a courageous year-long battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). His life was marked by a deep love for his family, a remarkable sense of humor, and a strong interest in building design. Scott’s quick wit and warm smile were his trademarks. Scott had close lifelong friendships that he cherished. They enriched his life and were very important to him.

Scott was the son of the late Joan and Robert Cornett. After attending Milford Area (NH) High School, Scott served in the Navy based in Jacksonville, FL. Scott then co-founded a very successful masonry business ‘Brick Appeal’ with his brother-in-law in the southern NH area. Next, he pursued his passion for building design, attending the Boston Architectural School, leading to a career of architectural design and managing commercial construction projects for Northpoint Construction Management of Hudson, NH for many years.

Scott married Nancy Aberilla, and they raised their son Robert Cornett in Milford, NH and Port Charlotte, FL. Scott was a devoted husband and father, who found immense joy in family gatherings. He is survived by his wife Nancy and son Rob of Port Charlotte, FL., his sister Corinne Pullen (Craig) of Canterbury, NH and his sister Cheryl Fimbel (Rob) of Bozeman, MT. Scott also leaves behind two stepchildren, several nieces, grand nieces and nephews who will carry forward his legacy of love and laughter.

In loving memory of Scott, the family kindly requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Blood Cancer United, Inc.
