JAMES STUART (STU) SCOTT February 15, 1937 - October 15, 2011 With great sadness we announce the passing of our father, grandfather and friend Stu Scott after a courageous bout with cancer. He will be greatly missed by sons Kelly and Kevin and daughter Corinne; daughter-in-law Shelley and son-in-law Troy; grandchildren Lindsay and Aidan; sisters Lois and Dorothy and brother Ken; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his wife Audrey in 2007. Dad was born in Almonte, Ontario and moved to Melville, Saskatchewan as a child. He spoke fondly about his first job working as a teenager for the CN, where he was to spend several years. Later on he had had an extensive career in the financial services industry, culminating in a long, rich and rewarding career with the Royal Bank, serving as branch manager for many different Winnipeg locations over the years. The relationships he formed were always long-lasting and loyal. His retirement years allowed him the chance to experience cabin life - his cabin near Seven Sisters was his home away from home where he and Audrey spent many happy seasons. As a father he was always one hundred percent supportive and committed to the plans of his children and his generosity was unparalleled. We will miss dad's calming presence, his warm and friendly voice and his selfless dedication to family and friends. Cremation has taken place and a memorial service will be held at Evangel Chapel, 1073 St. Mary's Road on Friday, October 21 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. The family would like to gratefully acknowledge the staff of CancerCare Manitoba.
