James Clair Scott

It is with a sad heart that the Scott family announces the passing of James Clair Scott on Sunday, July 31st at the age of 89. Jim was the son of the late James and Clara Scott, the dear brother of the late Ruby Scott, and he was the beloved husband of Jennifer for over 67 years. They met in Grimsby High School and lived in the Grimsby and Winona area all of that time, except for the few times they would sneak away to Florida in the winter months after they had retired from their Rice Monuments business in Winona. Jim was a loving father to his four children, James Wm., Heather (and her husband Alan), Andrew, and Stephen (and his wife Anne). He was also very pleased to be the grandfather of Greg, Becky, Scott, Evan, Sebastian and Adrienne and his great grandchildren, Gavin and Morgan, and Chloe, Clair, and Liliana. Jim had a great sense of humour and was an active member of the Grimsby Optimist Club for many years, and prior to working for himself he had worked for Williamson Printing Materials for twenty-six years. Many of the residents of Maplecrest Retirement Home, where he and Jennifer have been living for the past four years, will miss his ready humour, especially before meal times and 'Happy Hour'. As per Jim's wishes, private cremation has taken place. A celebration of his life will be held at the Grimsby Legion (233 Elizabeth Street) on Saturday, August 13, 2022 from 2 - 4 p.m. Those wishing to make a donation in memory of Jim may do so to The Lung Association (https://www.lung.ca).
