FORT WAYNE, Ind. — Services were scheduled to be held here last week for Donald G.

Scott founded the chain in 1954, after having previously worked at Indianapolis-based Marsh Supermarkets. He sold Scott's to Supervalu, Minneapolis, in 1991, and retired in 1996 after having grown the company to include 18 stores. Kroger Co., Cincinnati, acquired Scott's from Supervalu last year.
