Thomas Scott Obituary
Known as "Scotty" has passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 19, 2020 at Sunrise Senior Living in Burlington, ON in his 96th year. Dear father of Sheryl (Germain), Ken (late Janice, 2017), Susan (Greg), and the late Murray (2003). Also survived by 9 grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren. On February 13, 1925 Thomas Bruce Scott was born in Nakina, ON. He married Dolores Ferguson in 1949 and after 60 years of marriage, she passed away in 2009. While raising 4 children with Dolores, Bruce worked for the CNR as a brakeman and then later for the Department of Lands and Forests. The family also owned a tourist outfitting business for the summer months. Bruce transferred to Terrace Bay in 1968 and became Parks Superintendent for three Provincial Parks. After retiring Bruce and Dolores moved to St. Catharines in 1984. Dad always enjoyed the company of his many friends, especially his awesome neighbours. He was usually the life of any party as he kept everyone laughing at his jokes and crazy antics. He gave a helping hand to anyone who needed it. He was also an avid gardener. We will always remember the kindness and generosity shown to Dad from his wonderful neighbours after Mom passed away. Cremation has taken place and a celebration of life service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or Heart and Stroke Foundation would be sincerely appreciated. Arrangements entrusted to BUTLER FUNERAL HOME, St. Catharines.

Dear Sheryl, Ken, Susan and families. Your Dad was a great guy who taught me lots. There was always a time for hard work but there was always a time for enjoying life. I had the good fortune to work for him and learn from him but also got to share many memorable and fun times with Scotty.
A road trip was always an adventure where every other driver was going too slow for Scotty and that big Caddy had lots of horsepower which he didn't hesitate to use.
He loved little kids and always dropped by our house and many other homes in Terrace Bay dressed in his Santa outfit at Christmas. Santa always had time for a wee shot.
He also helped out Dr Mike a bit and I would get the odd call to go there to help him fix Dr Mike's water line and that sort of thing. This usually involved Scotty and Dr Mike solving world problems while I wrestled with pipes, but sitting with the two of them after my work was done was highly entertaining.
May good memories of your Dad help you through this sad time.

Dear Sheryl, Ken, Susan and Families. So sorry to hear of the loss of your father and grandfather Bruce.
He was the last living member of Nakina's WW II Veterans.
Lots of fond memories of your parents visiting during Nakina's anniversaries. Bruce always had another donation for " Our House",
Nakina"s museum which was his and your childhood home.
Sincerely
Brian Downey
