Iain McMaster Scott, age 91, beloved husband of Alice Jane Scott (nee Heeney) for 64 years and awesome dad to Nancy Scott (Kevin Gromley), Andrew Scott (Julia), Catherine Stemper (Steven), and Susan Hawkins (Daniel).

Mr. Scott was born in Montreal, Quebec, to Hugh and Jean Scott, both of Scottish heritage. He attended Bishop’s University in Lennoxville, Quebec, completing his Bachelor of Science after serving as a pilot in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II. He then earned a second Bachelor of Science degree at McGill University in Montreal. He spent more than 35 years as an aluminum salesman for Alcan, a career that led him to British Columbia, New York, Ohio, Switzerland, and ultimately Michigan, where he and his wife later became naturalized American citizens. Mr. Scott enjoyed many activities, including worldwide travel, golf as a member of Plum Hollow Country Club for over 55 years, playing bridge, preparing taxes for seniors, and delivering Meals-on-Wheels every week until the last month of his life.
