CPS guard, CHA officer and sheriff's deputy Grant Ulysses Scott dies at 72

From the time he was a kid with a paper route, Grant Ulysses Scott worked hard.

“He always had more than one job,” said his daughter, Kimberly Scott-Eskridge.


He worked as a Chicago Housing Authority police officer, as a Cook County sheriff’s deputy, and as a security guard at McCormick Place. He also drove for Purolator armored cars. When he died last Thursday, Mr. Scott, 72, was working as a security guard for the Chicago Public Schools. Students appreciated his encouragement, “giving them the big thumbs up, every day,” his daughter said.
