To spread some cheer during a stressful time, Scher decided to dress up as the Easter Bunny for the local kids, including his two daughters -- who are 3 and 4 years old, and look forward to the annual tradition.

“We wanted to create a way to keep the magic rolling for the girls," Scher told ABC News. "As we were talking, my wife actually made the suggestion to spread the joy to our entire neighborhood."

Scher even went as far as tossing some colorful eggs across the lawn for kids in the neighborhood -- all from a safe social distance, of course.

“Honestly, with all that has been going on...all of which I see everyday, this was a welcome moment of joy and happiness. For that hour or two, life was normal,” Scher said.
