Scott Littlefield Babb, 59, passed away Saturday, September 19, 2020 from complications following a stroke related to Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD). Scott passed comfortably at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center in Burlington, MA surrounded by his family and loved ones.

Scott is survived by his wife of 25 years, Holli Babb of Merrimack, NH; daughter Alyssa Babb and fiancé Joshua Casperson of Portsmouth, NH; daughter Kathryn Babb of Boston, MA; mother Annette Babb of Freedom, NH; sister Alyson Hermanson (Babb) of Conway, NH; brother Leslie Babb and wife Karen Babb of Freedom, NH; brother Christopher Babb and wife Kathleen Babb of Merrimack, NH; sister Beverly Goodson and husband Joe Goodson of Charlotte, NC; brother Ivar Babb and wife Andrea Babb of Hopkinton, RI; sister Ingrid Thomas and husband Gary Thomas of Naples, ME; brother Stephen Babb; uncle Roy Littlefield and wife Jacqueline Littlefield of Saco, Maine and several nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his father Leslie Babb in 1994 and grandparents Madeleine Littlefield and Roy Littlefield.

Scott was born on April 8, 1961 in Kansas City, MO and soon after moved to Freedom, New Hampshire with his family where he spent his childhood years. He attended Kennett High School in North Conway before graduating and enrolling in Plymouth State University. Scott also spent a great deal of his early years in Hawaii, attending school for a year as a child and returning to visit many times throughout his life.

Scott was a true renaissance man with many gifted talents. A purveyor of truth and integrity, he had a brilliant mind and a passion for learning and sharing his vast knowledge with others. He grew up having loved skiing, competing in judo, communicating on amateur radio frequencies, and he never missed Sunday night football – especially when the Patriots were playing. His appreciation for reading, writing and linguistics made him a phenomenal conversationalist in any of the several languages he spoke. Scott was very proud of his family, and together with Holli, loved attending his daughter's many activities over the years like soccer and volleyball games, school plays, concerts, ceremonies and more.

Scott's passion for technology led him to an early career as a computer software and systems engineer where he spent 25 years learning, teaching and experimenting with various tools and equipment. His love for helping others led him to a career shift to study hypnosis, eventually opening his own practice as a hypnotherapist. Over the last ten years, Scott has become highly regarded in the hypnosis community for his humor, sincerity, and generosity. His legacy and influence will live on through his published works, recorded workshops, stories, colleagues, friends and family.

A Memorial Gathering will be held on Saturday, September 26th from 10am-12pm at Phaneuf Funeral Homes & Crematorium, 243 Hanover Street Manchester, NH.
