It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of “The Captain’s” final voyage on March 3rd, 2023, at the Saanich Peninsula Hospital. We created a beautiful, loving and peaceful environment for his farewell, and his sense of humour was with him to the end. He is survived by his wife Jane, children David, Marston and Hayley (Conor), granddaughters (Nadia, Charlie, Rowan, Sloane) and sisters Tish, Gail (Fred), Cindy and Joan.
Scott was born in Toronto to parents, Scott and Kay. He graduated from McGill University (BEng) and completed his MBA in Ottawa. His drive, intellect and charisma led him to a very successful career as the Managing Partner of Deloitte’s Consulting Practice (1978-1994) and eventually the Calgary Office Managing Partner (1994-2002). Scott and Jane lived a beautiful and fulfilling life in Calgary for 28 years, raising their 3 children, built upon community and friendships.
Following his retirement, his love of the ocean drew them to Sidney, BC, where sailing the “Lady Jane” became his passion, as well as tennis, biking, piano and being a Grandpa to his four granddaughters. Scott’s generosity touched the lives of so many people. He will be sorely missed, but his legacy will live on through his children and grandkids.
Our sincere thanks to staff at the BC Cancer Centre and SPH Palliative Care Unit, in particular Naren (BC Cancer), Dr. A Lewis (SPH), and Dr. I McKenzie (SPH). In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue Station 31, Brentwood Bay (RCM-SAR 31) and Saanich Peninsula Hospital. We celebrated Scott’s life on March 15th, 2023, at 2:00 PM PST, at McCall Gardens Funeral Home (4665 Falaise Drive, Victoria, BC).

I hope that Jane and the family are comforted by the all the good wishes that come to them. Having known Jane and Scott in the years in Calgary I suspect he will be remembered so lovingly. The world has lost a person of many talents but among most special accomplishments is that of being a good family man. He loved his Jane & their family. He will be missed by many.

We extend our sympathy and condolences to both you and the family in recovering from this terrible loss. Scott will be remembered for his great character and personality and will be deeply missed by his sailing and bridge buddies. Graham has many happy memories of his joint sailing excursions with Scott -none of which will be forgotten.
Dear Jane and Family,

Jane, David, Jon and Hayley – Please accept our heartfelt condolences for the loss of your Husband and Father, Scott. Our favourite memory of Scott was when we visited you for a day in Sidney and Scott took us out in his sail boat for the afternoon. It was an amazing experience and Scott was so funny and gracious. He had such a beautiful smile. We also remember his commitment and efforts in the community when you lived in Lake Bonaventure. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Gloria and Graham
