BILL SCOTT

This past Wednesday, family and friends gathered together at Westminster United Church to honour the life of a remarkable man through tributes, special music and with spiritual reflection from Rev. Helen Reid and Rev. Heather Carlson. Although Bill will be dearly missed, the love of his memory will not be forgotten.

So much depends upon
A red wheelbarrow,
Glazed with rain water
besides the white chickens.

His Life Lived…
His Life Cherished…
His Life Honoured.
