In loving memory of William “Bill” Garfield Scott who passed away at Temiskaming Hospital on Monday, October 11, 2021 at the age of 88.

He was born in New Liskeard on March 1, 1933 to Garfield and Lola (Bowen) Scott.

Predeceased by his wife Joyce (Brown), his son Kevin, his brothers Jack, Bob and sister Beverly.

 In the latter part of his life, he endured many health challenges but this never deterred him from living life to the full. He was known for his outgoing nature and his many friendships. He was very creative and that was reflected in his design and fabrication skills. He shared in the development and production of the Scott Canoe line, in which he took pride. His love of the outdoors included building a camp on Lepha lake where he entertained family and friends in which he took great pleasure.

Above all, he was known for his faith in Jehovah God and the hope of one day living forever on a restored paradise earth. ( Psalm 37:29) This hope, he shared with others throughout his life. 

 The family would like to thank the staff at Temiskaming Hospital.

Scott Family, esp Bill(y) and Murray

I am saddened to read of Bill's passing. I worked for Bill for 12 yrs at Scott Canoes (MidCanada Fiberlass). He was the best employer anyone can have. During down time in winter, we engaged in many philosophical discussions. He was a very intelligent, caring and sympathetic person. I considered him my mentor. RIP Bill, you will be dearly missed.

I am so sorry to hear that Bill passed away. He was a fine brother who was well respected.
Sadly, I just heard of his death only today November 13. My wife Sara and I offer our deepest sympathy to the whole family. May Jehovah continue to provide all of you comfort during this most difficult time.
