Hi Christine,
So very very very sorry to hear about Scott.
I always loved visiting with you both… especially Scott. (lol)
Been wanting to stop in… just because… on a number of occassions.
Life can be full of excuses though… I have none.
You still in the same house?
I promise I will stop in soon… no… for real !!!
I hope your doing well yourself and coping with things.
Keep in touch, take care!!!!

So sad and shocked, and of course it takes us all back in years. Have known Scott and Leslie (and the whole family) since grade 7 at King George. He was never anything but sweet so very smart, and so deserved to live and help keep people smiling at least for another 30 years. Life is so short and cancer is so terrible. Huge hugs to Scott’s wife Christina, Mrs. Pont, Blayne, Donna, Bryan and Leslie right now and an extra huge one for Scott.
Laurie Currah and Patrick
Our deepest heartfelt sympathies go out to Byrdie and the families at this truly sad time. Scott was an amazingly upbeat, warm and funny fella who always had everyone laughing. His positive vibe just emanated to all who was around him. Scott will be missed so much by so many and the world has lost a very special man. Many prayers are sent your way Byrdy

It was with sorrow that welearned of Scott’s illness.
Our recollections of Scott are special as we worked together at Sterling for many years and it was challenging innovative work he was doing with our IT group.
Scott was a winner and we think he will win big with his soul that will speak to all of us who knew him.
PBUH.

I only met Scott for the first time in 2011 and just worked with him for a few months. In that short time he made me feel welcome and part of the team just by his mild and friendly manner. My condolences to the family. Thanks for sharing the great pictures and being positive during this difficult time! My thoughts are with with everyone concerned.
Pam Andress
I was shocked to hear of Scott’s passing. We worked together many years ago…but I always remember his smiling face. He was quick witted and always made me laugh. I’m sure he has left behind hearts full of good memories as that was just the type of guy he was.
My sincere condolences to Christina, family and all his good friends.
Stew and Karen Morton & family
Our hearts go out to you and your family during this difficult loss.
David Houle
I found growing up with Scott an adventure. Playing ball hockey in the school yard, bowling in YBC when we were younger and when we got older calling road trip and ending up somewhere we hadn’t planned, Scott always made it fun and amusing. Always with a clever joke and a smile Scott was someone that always made you feel there was more to life then what you were presently doing. I will miss our talks and the man that enriched my life and others but I won’t forget him. My deepest condolences to his family and to everyone that knew Scott.
Thomas, Cathy Fletcher

I will never forget the good old bowling days with Scott and Leslie back in Chatham. Who could forget doing “the worm” at our many bowling tournaments. Oh we shared some great times! He was an amazing guy! My condolences to your families.

Leslie & Family,
The Scott I knew was a cherub faced sweet, kind and modest teenager, in spite of his well-known brilliant mind. He was also fiercely loyal to his “older” sister Leslie, my high school friend.
How blessed you have all been to have had him gracing your lives.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
