(PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW) The 102-year-old Scott man who on Saturday received the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award died Sunday, his wife said.
Bernard Russell Queneau was believed to be one of the country’s oldest living Eagle Scouts. His wife, Esther, said that he struggled Saturday through a ceremony in which the Laurel Highlands Council and the National Eagle Scout Association bestowed the honor on him.
“He just hung on,” Esther Queneau said. “He did it his way. That award meant so much to him. He’s in a better place.” Saturday was also her 90th birthday.
