Bertram Scott
Scott, Bertram Leonard
It is with sadness that the family of Bertram Leonard Scott, of Barnesville, NB, husband of Heather (Proctor) Scott announces his death which occurred on Thursday, May 12, 2016 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. He was born on April 24, 1937, a son of the late Leonard and Iva (Kilpatrick) Scott.
Bert lived his life to the fullest. He met the love of his life Heather when they were just children and went on to marry her to have a loving family of his own.
Bert worked for Irving Oil before starting his own snowmobile business “Scott’s Sales and Service” in Barnesville. In 1979, he moved his family out west to start a new adventure in Fort McMurray. From there, he was able to indulge his love for exploration crossing both Canada and the US several times and venturing to BC, Alaska, and the Yukon. He retired early to begin a new chapter of his life back home in Barnesville farming and raising his beloved Chesapeake Bay Retrievers which he bred from Scotlane Kennels. Bert truly loved the land and had a great respect for God’s creatures which he cared for on a daily basis.
Bert is survived by his son John Scott of Vancouver, BC; daughters Michelle “Shelley” Scott of Barnesville, NB; Jill Scott (Leigh Emery) of Saint John, NB; brother Earl Scott of Upham, NB; sister Jean (Don) Shanks of Dartmouth, NS; several nieces and nephews.
