John Scott “Scotty” Anderson, of Lucan, passed away peacefully at Jessica’s House on Tuesday, May 5, 2026 in his 69th year. Cherished husband of the late Beverly (Huffman) Anderson for 45 years. Loving father of Becky (Matthew) Johnson, Tim (Nikki) Anderson, Brittany Anderson (Kyle Dillman), and Greg Anderson. Proud grandfather of Baden, Oliver, Felicity; and Claire. Survived by his brother Michael Anderson (Lise Jamieson) and sister-in-law’s Heather Kelly, Christine Geertsen-Anderson, and Muriel Abbott. Fondly remembered by his nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his infant daughter Melonie, his brothers William and Len, parents Bob and Irene Anderson, and in-laws Florence and Elmer Huffman.
Scott wore many hats over his life. He worked for General Motors Diesel for 35+ years. He was also a paramedic, scouter, and most recently a bus driver. In addition to these, Scott held his most prized positions, a member of the coaching staff of the Lucan Irish 6 hockey team and serving 44 years on the Lucan Biddulph Fire Department.
A celebration of Scott’s life will be held at the Lucan Legion, 136 Market Street, LUCAN on Sunday, May 17th from 1 – 3 PM. A private family interment will be held at St. Patrick Catholic Cemetery, Lucan.

Scott was one of my earliest friends, going back to kindergarten, probably. We played hours and hours of sports with the local guys after school and on weekends – road hockey, football and baseball, depending on the season. My condolences to the family.

Becky, Tim, Brittany and Greg – I’m so very sorry about your Dad’s death. Your family has suffered two huge losses in the past year. Be kind to each other and may you find some comfort knowing that your Mom and Dad are reunited, albeit too young and too soon. I’m betting Scottie is shooting the breeze and joking right now with Lennie and Bill in that crazy way the Anderson boys did. He was a gentle, kind soul and from the comments people have written, a significant member of the Lucan community, who will be missed by the many people whose lives he touched. My love to you all.
Linda Salts
Our deepest condolences on your loss of Scott so soon after Bev.
Scott was always fun to talk with and always asked how Rob was doing. Then I’d ask about Bev and he spoke so lovingly of her, with concerns for her health.
Scott will be dearly missed by your family and the Lucan community.

Scott was involved in so many things in Lucan and touched a lot of lives. He was on a ball team with my husband, and always had a big smile and took the time to chat when we saw him. I ran into him years later when he drove my grandchildren on school trips and we would catch up. A friendly, warm person who will be missed! 💕

So sorry to hear of Scotty’s passing. We shared a lot of good times together, playing road hockey on Princess, travelling with Fritzy to Lucan Irish Games, OHA conventions, celebrating Jr D Championship. So many fun times over the years. He will be greatly missed.
Rest in peace Scotty.

I was so saddened to hear about Scott’s passing, and learning that Bev is gone as well brought back so many memories for us.
More than 30 years ago, when we were new in town, Scott and Bev were among the kindest people we could have met. Scott worked with my husband, and their family became such an important part of our lives during those early years of raising our children.
I was expecting our second child, Samantha, when we brought Jeremy to their house in the middle of the night so I could go to the hospital. Later, when I returned to work and became sick, Bev went out of her way to help our family — picking Jeremy up from school and bringing him home afterward. Bev was also Samantha’s preschool teacher and would pick her up and bring her back home.
Scott and Bev were truly wonderful people. Their warmth, kindness, and generosity meant so much to us, and my husband and I have never forgotten it. We will always remember them with gratitude and affection.
Please accept our heartfelt condolences.

RIp Scott we will not forget you

Paul and Debbie Marsden
Dear Becky and the Anderson family. Paul and I are so sorry to hear of Scott’s passing. He would always stop to talk when we saw him out and about. I remember 30 years ago when Josh was at St. Joe’s emerge for a broken wrist. Paramedic Scott was just about to leave when he saw us waiting to be seen. He went out and got Josh a teddy bear to try to help him feel better. He was a good guy.
Keep your memories close. Thinking of you at this sad time.

Becky and Tim and families
Scottie and I enjoyed being Cub leaders together and he’d visit me at the bank in London when he had a break. We always stopped to have a chat if we met on the street or at the grocery store. His devotion to his family and neighbourhood held no bounds.
He will be missed, but rest assured that he is with his wonderful Bev
Brenda, William, and Charlotte Hawkins
Becky and the entire Anderson Family;
Please accept our sincere condolences on the loss of Scott. He was such a kind and gentle soul. I would thank him all of the time for the supervision and safety he took pride in when driving our daughter Charlotte and other students to Medway each day.
I will never forget chatting with him around Lucan and he would always remember and bring up Bev, and how he missed her so much.
Our last chat a month or two ago was at the gas station where we all had a good 30 minute discussion at the pumps – my Uncle Tom was with me and they chatted about working together in the ‘good old days’. I do hope he is re-united with his love – Bev. Rest in the sweetest peace Scott… you will be missed.
Bob & Cathy Moore & Family

Dear Anderson Family,
Scott will be missed by your family and also the community that he was so committed to. Many members of Lucan Scouting will remember his leadership of camp fires and his story telling. He was certainly a valuable part of sharing the joy of Scouting in Lucan and area.

Dear Becky and Anderson Family
So sorry that you have lost your Dad and Grandpa. He was a very kind and friendly man. I always enjoyed visiting with him and loved his smile. I remember him driving the bus for a ladies tour I helped planned. It was just after Baden was born and I remember telling the ladies if Baden had glasses our driver could be his twin. Scott loved the idea of being Baden’s twin.
Thinking And praying for you all.
