• Scott was the skip of our 1965 Ontario Junior Tankard champion team. He innovated the 1 - 4 scoring system for charting how you curled. We curled without regard to how the other team curled or who you curled against. Pure genius. Pure Scott. - Posted by: Mike Arnot (Friend, fellow curler) on: Sep 03, 2013

• I just heard of Scott's passing. I first met Scott when he and I were about 14. I remember many fond days playing ping pong in his parent's basement, playing snooker in my parent's basement, playing golf, going to Junior spiels and just having fun. I missed Scott from the first days he moved out west but always knew he was a friend. I hope we have the pleasure to meet again on the great golf course, no matter where you might be. You are a friend. Thank you for gracing our lives. - Posted by: Bob Armstrong (Life long friend) on: Sep 01, 2013

• I was so shocked to learn of Scott's passing, he was too young. Only recently I was speaking about how Scott & Susan gave me a Canadian flag & card when I obtained my citizenship. Their kindess moved me. My sincere condolences to Susan & family. - Posted by: Judith Vizard () on: Aug 30, 2013

• Susan, my thoughts are with you and Scott's family at this sad time. Scott has always had a special place in my memories of our days at RT -- it didn't matter where we were, whether Winnipeg, Calgary or a training session somewhere back east -- he brought a calmness to the environment or situation that I always appreciated. I believe that his spirit will live on in the lives of all he has touched and I am grateful to be one of those lives. - Posted by: Kathleen Cunningham (Colleague) on: Aug 28, 2013

• I met Scott at Royal Trust in Thunder Bay in the 70's and spent a year or so losing at pool to him at Hansen's Pool Hall, He was one of the few natural athletes I have ever met, and could play almost anything with ease. My condolences to his families - Posted by: Rick Perkins (friend) on: Aug 28, 2013

• My deepest sympathy to my dear sister on the passing of Scott- her love, her friend, her companion, her husband, her intellect equal. They were a great mix and it is with profound sadness that he has passed. - Posted by: Jennifer Matthews (sister) on: Aug 27, 2013

• Scott and I met in 1975 in Thunder Bay. Scott came out to play on our men's slowpitch team and we soon became good friends. His winter sport was curling as was mine. Scott was a major league curler and I was J squad. As a good friend I followed Scott and his teammates to the Ottawa Brier in 1979 and then his Mixed Team to the Canadian Championship in New Brunswick. Thinking about both those trips stirs many memories. I haven't seen Scott for quite a few years. I know he will be missed by his family and many friends. Our prayers are with you all. God bless you Scott. - Posted by: Roy Larson (Good Friend) on: Aug 27, 2013

• Hi Susan, we have never had the pleasure of meeting you and it has been a number of years since we last saw Hammie at either Laura's wedding or golfing in Calgary. I stil considered him a friend even though we lost track of each other with his work moves. Saying that I am shocked is an understatement. Scott was a great friend, team mate, bridge partner and all round great guy. Both you and he will be in my prayers. It was a pleasure knowing you my friend. Rest in peace. - Posted by: Denis Parsons (Friend, teammate) on: Aug 27, 2013

• Several years ago Scott and I were out golfing. He had just acquired a custom made 3 wood that he was not particularly happy with - apparently the shaft had too much flex. He suggested that due to my slight stature it might improve my game and offered to sell it to me. After the game we were sitting on my deck, which over-looks the Red River. The subject of the golf club came up again and he offered it to me for $70.00. I countered at $50.00 We settled the matter by agreeing that if he could hit a ball over the river the price was $70.00 and if he couldn't it was $50.00. $70.00 later I owned that club. Not only did he clear the river, which I estimate to be 250 yards, I was expecting to hear the sound of breaking glass from a house or car on Scotia Street. I still have that club and although it has not improved my game it now carries a bit more special meaning. - Posted by: Bill Willms (Firend and colleague) on: Aug 26, 2013

• It seems like only a short time ago I was swinging a golf club or a baseball bat with Scott, and listening to his valuable advice on the best way to do both. I'm sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Joe Marino () on: Aug 26, 2013

• Susan - I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have many good memories of Scott's advice, for life, the curling rink and the golf course. My thoughts and prayers are with you. T - Posted by: Terrance Kirkness (friend) on: Aug 26, 2013

• Susan our hearts go out to you and the rest of the family, who would have guessed that last month would be the last time we would get to see Scott, play golf with him, and yes tick him off by paying for Supper. We will be unable to attend the service but I will be in Vancouver at the end of October and thought I would come to see you and pay my respects personally.
