Debbie and Nicholas,
I was so sorry to hear about Scott’s passing. He was such a positive light in our transplant group. No matter how hard things were, you could count on Scott to have a smile on his face!
We will miss him.
Take care. We’ll be thinking about and praying for you.

I first met Scott 2 years ago at the Toronto General Hospital lung transplant support group meeting – prior to my double lung transplant. I was feeling extremely ill and without hope. Behind me sat Scott, full of life and positive attitudes. He told me he was 2 weeks post transplant. His presence and attitude (and Debbie’s) brought me back to the realization that I could do this, and today I feel Scott had a lot to do with the health successes I have had since then.
Our condolences go out to you, Debbie and Nicholas. We will all miss and remember Scott.

Chris, Dale and families: We were very saddened to hear of Scotty’s death. It doesn’t seem that long ago that we heard of the success of his lung transplant, and the operation seemed to be very successful – no more cystic fibrosis. It doesn’t seem fair that, after all the years of living with the problems associated with this disease, and after receiving the gift of new lungs, his life should be cut short. Our thoughts are with you at this very sad time. Kindest personal regards, Paul and Marie.
I wanted to pass on our condolences. Scott has been through a lot. I was raised in Thamesford as he was and
Dale & I went to school together.
Our thoughts & prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Dave & Marlene Hughes
Hi Deb, Chris, Dale and family. I just wanted to say, that I told my mom, dad, and brother about Scott when I heard the unfortunate news. As you know, he used to Lawn Bowl, and my family, although, not having seen him in many years, remember him from Bowls. They pass their condolences, through me to you all. He had many years of life that most with C.F. do not get, and we are all saddened by his passing.
But, ….I had his friendship for 10 years, from the day I walked into Q.T.’s. I would not trade that for anything. I still wear the Q.T.’s shirt he gave me, with pride, as his friend.
He will be remembered. As a friend. Kevin Jones
our thoughts and prayers go out to you and yours in this time of grief. AA prayer helps me though my day, god grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, courage to change the things i can, and the wisdom to know the difference
So sorry to hear about Scott…….Jim and I met Scott and Deb in the transplant group. He was always happy and had a good atitude. Jim will be gone 2 years in Sept. and it’s still like a dream…..You will get through it Deb…thinking of you…Mary Lou

Deb,Nicholas,Dale,Chris & Family,
Our every thought and prayer are with you now and always. We are very saddened by the loss of Scotty. When someone so dear is lost we all look back over the times we’ve shared and the memories that we have. We’ve been reflecting and find that we’re remembering Scott with smiles and love for all that Scott did for us and how he helped and made a huge difference is so many peoples lives. It was through his life dreams and goals that our lives have formed. He gave us opportunity to meet life long friends, share in amazing Las Vegas trips and was always there with his arms open just to listen when we needed it.
Scott said something to me after his transplant. He said he never knew how it felt to take a normal breath.
I thank God for giving him that opportunity and giving him that extra time. Now God knows that Scott has completed his purpose here on earth. He’s given a lot of people so much, he’s left a beautiful son to carry on his name and may he now rest in peace and watch over us all from above.
With all our love.

I am a nurse in the Transplant Unit of LHSC and along with all the other nurses there who have helped to look after Scott this past year we send our sincere sympathy to your family. He always kept trying-with the goal that he would be home with his family again. Even though some days must have been so hard for him he always kept his sense of humour. Remember him with love.
Deb,Nicholas,Chris,Deb,Dale and family,
Scottie lost his battle, but I will carry him always in my heart. He was an inspiration to us all and will continue to be as long as we remember.
Dear Deb & Nicholas,
Our last memory of you is the celebration for Scott’s transplant,you both were elated with delight and relief that his illness was past. It is shocking to say the least. We hope that you as a family had time to enjoy each other in ways that the rest of us take for granted. Scottie always amazed me with his positive outlook and dedication, sitting in his van hooked up to oxygen, updating us on his latest jokes while carrying on the days business. He always left us with a laugh. It seemed he never missed a day of deliveries to his vegetable stands except for the occasional hospital visit.
In our hearts he will live on forever as the man that only God could stop. Quite likely God has a well deserved position awaiting him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Liz, Bill, Deanna & Liam Golding
I was very sad to hear of Scotty’s passing. I am so sorry for you loss. Scott was a full of life kind of guy and I know that he will be missed terribly by all who knew him. I just want to pass my condolences on to you all, you are all in my thoughts.
Debbie
Dear Chris, Dale and Families
I was so sorry to read that your brother Scott had passed away. I remember him well from when you all lived in Thamesford and he and my son Tom Hann were friends. They would play baseball in the field beside our house and use some hilarious rules.
Scott had a little dachond dog that went everywhere with him and Tom had a collie. The dogs often had to be taken home for interfering with the games.
I have spoken to Tom and Mea and they also send their condolences.
I also remember what good babysitters you both were.
With sincere sympathy;
Rosalie Peterson
Dear Chris, I am sorry to hear of Scotty’s passing. I knew Scotty when I was a boy back in Thamesford. It never occured to me that Scotty was sick in any way because he was always the best player, fastest runner and strongest one amoung us. You may recall the mob of boys on Stanley St. so this was no small feat. I will always remember swimming and playing pool at your folks home, I am sure they cursed the day they put the only pool for miles in their back yard. Scotty always made me feel as though I was one of the family.I will always remember your Mom’s laugh and her boundless energy. We were the lucky kids whose Moms stayed home and we had to come in when the street lights came on.
I am sure Scot never quit in his battle and I am sure he was an inspiration to his family and all the people he touched in his life. I will always be proud to have known him, yours sincerely, Tom Hann.
