Raymond Scott Obituary

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Ray. A Husband, Father, Grandfather, and Great Grandfather.

He is survived by the love of his life and best friend for 64 years Stella. His children Kim Kryger (Rob) and Daniel Scott (Michele). His grandchildren Brittany Kryger, Whitney Renney (Craig), Matthew Kryger (Taya), and Joshua Scott (Catherine). His great-grandchildren Evan Renney, Beau Kryger, Maya Kryger, Lianna Scott, and Jamie Scott. He loved them all so much and we are very sure they will remember a game they played with him called "Papa Monster" while chasing them all over the Knutsford hills with a sheet on his head.

He was predeceased by his mother and father Thomas and Winnifred Scott, sister Ruth Arnt, and brothers Ches Scott and Lester Stringer. Survived by his sisters Eileen Campbell, Marge Ewacheski (John) and Terry Scott.

Ray loved God and Jesus with all his heart, soul, and mind. He read his bible daily.

Ray played professional baseball in the states in 1957 but decided to come home because he missed family. The Kelowna team signed him to play for them and this is where he met the love of his life Stella. The rest is history.

Later he moved to Kamloops and was employed by Dearborn Motors. Upon his eventual retirement he continued with his quarter horse business at his Knutsford ranch. From a work standpoint this was the "Horse Whisperer's" dream job.

In later years he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Ray and Stella decided to sell off their little piece of heaven for a simpler life.

We wish to thank the amazing staff at Ponderosa Lodge. We cannot say enough about the excellent and loving care. Thank you to Dr. Cribb who was always willing to talk.

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith".
2 Timothy 4:7

I just found out today about Ray´s home-going to his Lord. I´m deeply sad to hear this but have the best memories of him and the man he was. Your family always made me to feel like family as you hosted youth events in your home.
Sending love and condolences to you dear Stella & family; prayers for the days and weeks to come for all.
A great man welcomed into heaven by many of my own loved ones who were there with a welcoming party without a doubt.
Thinking of you all with great affection.
Much love, Carla

My sincere condolences on the loss of this kind-hearted, sincere, loving man who was known to my daughters as Uncle Ray.
I will miss his warm smile and his honest advice on anything you wanted to know. Uncle Ray had the answers.
During my working days at Ponderosa Lodge, any moment I had I would surprise Uncle Ray with a visit. With a great smile, he would say, "Oh! Hi Doreen it's so nice to see you." We would chat about my family and what was happening in the community of Knutsford. where he once lived.
With a big hug, I would say, "Well Uncle Ray it is time I get back to work."
With his blue eyes and a beautiful smile, he always said, "See you again soon."
Auntie Stella may you and your family find comfort and peace knowing many people loved and cared for this wonderful person Uncle Ray.
He will be dearly missed by our family and many others.
You are in my thoughts and prayers Aman.
