Scott is survived by his wife, Sandi Lockhart; children, Bruce (Parichat), Truro; Paul (Jennifer), Owen Sound, Ont.; Heather (Glenn) Parrell, Deep River, Ont.; Sandi’s daughters, Todlynn Macpherson (Andy), Truro, and Alana Gulevich (Chad), Jasper, Alta.; Paul’s former wife, Lori; grandchildren, Elisha Macgregor, Sara Macgregor, Emily Macgregor, Anna Macgregor, Catherine Parrell, Christopher Parrell, Sienna Gulevich, Corbin Gulevich; brothers, Gordon, Amherst; Bob, Hanna, Alta.; his faithful K-9 companion, Molly.
