KENNETH (KEN) RANDALL SCOTT It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Kenneth R. Scott on Thursday, February 2, 2006 at Vista Park Lodge. Remaining to forever cherish in Ken's memory are his loving wife Lynn Scott, of 56 years of marriage; son Cliff (Lesley) of Charleston, SC; daughters, Heather Scott; Janice Briggs (Wayne) and Karen Desrochers (Edouard) all of Winnipeg; grandchildren, Jordan, Chantyl, Selina Desrochers and Brittany and Candace Briggs; sisters, Lorraine Stephenson (John) of Victoria, BC and Chris Gandy (Doug) of Toronto, ON; as well numerous nieces and cousins. Ken graduated from the University of Toronto in Engineering Physics and was employed by the Federal Government for over 25 years; most of those years as a Research Scientist at the Fresh Water Institute (Fisheries Oceans) in Winnipeg. Before arriving in Winnipeg in 1966, he was employed by the Department of Agriculture in Ottawa. He enjoyed all kinds of water sports which included boating, water skiing, scuba diving, and snorkeling. Ken built his own motor boat which was launched in 1957 and with it traveled many waterways in Canada and the Northern States. He was also an avid reader. In his later years, he and Lynn enjoyed camping in their various house trailers and traveled from coast to coast as well as to many camp sites in the Whiteshell and to Camp Lilac. They also enjoyed trips to the Caribbean and enjoyed the hospitality, music, and the lovely scenery of the islands. Ken enjoyed his family and grandchildren as well as spending time with friends and neighbours. In compliance with Ken's wishes, no formal funeral will be held. The Scott Family wishes to extend their thanks to the staff and volunteers at the Vista Park Lodge on Nova Vista for their excellent care and attention given to Ken while he was a resident there. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ken's memory to the Parkinson Foundation of Canada, 204-825 Sherbrook, Winnipeg, MB R3A 1M5; or to a charity of one's choice.
