Scott Simpson gets ‘Book of Golden Deeds’ award 

OCEAN CITY – The Ocean City Exchange Club announced that David Scott Simpson is the 2024 recipient of the “Book of Golden Deeds” award.

This award is the highest honor that the Exchange Club can award. This award goes to individuals or organizations that have selflessly served the community. The honorees need not have great wealth, prestige, or high social standing. The honorees might well be from the humblest walk of life, a hitherto undistinguished marcher in the passing parade. The Exchange Club feels that Scott Simpson is just that person.

Scott Simpson was born and raised in Ocean City. He attended Ocean City schools from primary school through his high school graduation in 1972, where he was a noted baseball player and a member of the choir. After high school, he graduated from University of Delaware with a degree in business and a minor in marketing. He then returned home to Ocean City to join his father, David, in the family business known as Playland Pier.

After several years Scott Simpson took over the family business and expanded

it to what it is today. During the busy years of building his business he never forgot our community by both volunteering and donating funds to needy organizations. Scott has always worked and volunteered quietly and without recognition.

He has been married to the love of his life Linda for 32 years this

coming November. They have two children, Allison and David, who both

graduated from Ocean City High School.

He has volunteered for organizations like the Ocean City Exchange Club

and was a member for many years as well as working for the Ocean City

Tourism Board, New Jersey Amusement Association, Ocean City Boardwalk

Merchants Association, and has been a member of the Ocean City Chamber of Commerce. Opening his business to organizations in need of help is one of Scott’s signatures. Many a community organization including this Exchange Club and others like The PBA Golf Tournament, Ocean City Humane Society and the Disabilities Resource Center to name a few, owe him a debt of gratitude, according to the Exchange Club, which stated that selflessly and quietly Simpson has distinguished himself as a man of his community.

“Because of his quiet and reserved manner in helping our community the Ocean City Exchange Club bestows upon him our highest honor, The Book of Golden Deeds.”
