Wisconsin Dells - Edward Scott Hutchings, 63, of Wisconsin Dells, passed away on Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2014. Scott, as everyone called him, was born on Feb. 21, 1950 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the son of Edward A. and Lyla M. Hutchings. He came to La Crosse with his family in 1956 and graduated from Central High School in 1968. He continued his education at UW La Crosse and Western Wisconsin Tech. His early jobs in La Crosse were teaching organ lessons at Leithhold Music. In 1970, Scott became the head of the color film processing department at WKBT-TV, where he also served as video camera man in the news department when the station went to video tape. When the station changed ownership, Scott then started his own home-improvement business, and later was a partner to a West Salem Restaurant. In 2000, he moved to Wisconsin Dells where he then became part of the family owned private school, Madison Media Institute, from which he retired in 2007. In his spare time, Scott loved cooking, gardening, fishing and working with tools. Survivors include his parents, Edward A. and Lyla M. Hutchings of Lake Delton; a son, Brian (Jessica) Hutchings of Milwaukee; a sister, Shelley R. (Jeff) Hertz of Wausau; two brothers, Steven W. (Julia) Hutchings of Deforest, and Christopher K.
