Sherwood Lee Scribner Sherwood Lee Scribner, born June 25, 
1948 in Moscow, Idaho passed away peacefully at Odyssey 
Hospice in Tucson on August 18, 2010. Preceded in death by 
his father, William A. Scribner; brother, Charles Scribner and 
nephew, Jacob Camp. He is survived by his wife, Anne Olson-
Scribner; mother, Ella May Scribner; sisters, Sylvia Camp (John) 
and Sandra Sharrah (Gary); brother, Laurence Scribner; several 
nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles. With a forest-service father 
and a musically trained mother, all the Scribner siblings grew 
up hunting, fishing and playing musical instruments. After 
graduating from Borah High School in Boise, Sherwood 
attended the University of Arizona on a music scholarship. He 
won based on a recording of him playing Bach's E Major Violin 
Concerto. He graduated in 1970 with a B.S. degree. His 
business career spanned music to missiles. In the 1970s, he 
formed JSH Laboratories (later MTI), which produced award-
winning (CES best-of-show) high-end stereo equipment. In 
1982, Sherwood joined Hughes Aircraft (Raytheon) as a missile 
systems engineer and worked on the Maverick, TOW, Phoenix 
and AMRAAM missiles. In 1999, he was selected to join the 
R6Sigma team and worked with them until retiring in 2003. A 
true westerner, Sherwood wore Stewart-made cowboy boots 
half his life and eagerly volunteered for the Tucson Rodeo 
Parade Committee, where he served as treasurer for many 
years. One of Sherwood's greatest interests was food, really 
good food. He taught himself how to cook, mastering the art 
of French cuisine and also Italian (Mario Batali-style). His 
gourmet dinners are legendary among family and friends. 
Sherwood and his gourmet gusto will be missed. No services 
are planned; there will be a private memorial for family and 
friends. Arrangements by DESERT ROSE CREMATION AND
