Uncle John, I only got to meet you a few times but you were always fondly mentioned and thought of at home. I remember you having a talk with me when I first met you at aunty Margaret’s and then more recently kindly helping mum and dad talk to me while they were staying with you. Little things but they made the world of difference to me.
You were so far away but always in our hearts. You had a cheery smile and made us smile at Christmas time when we had our own Father Christmas! Mum always told us about your adventures, I thought the moose incident when you two were young was funny and I was always amazed and told people about by my uncle going ice fishing in the lakes! Sorry we didn’t talk & keep in contact more. Sweet dreams uncle John xx

The Man, the Myth, the Legend.
I first met my uncle John in 1992, during a trip he took to the Isle of Wight. Even though I was young (13 years) I’ve always remembered his warm and caring nature, he had great wisdom and gave me some great advice, just what I needed at that time.
When my girls (Elysia & Lauren) were young, they genuinely believed Uncle John was Father Christmas, during Skype calls. With his big white beard, rosey Cheeks and joyful behaviour, who wouldn’t!
His joyfulness, positivity and sense of adventure is something I will always remember, just a great role model.
Uncle John, you will be missed but never forgotten, rest in peace Legend ❤️. Neil, Elysia and Lauren xxx

Although there are ten years between myself and John, I do have fond memories of him. I met John before he went off travelling and also later when he made return visits from Canada back to the Isle of Wight. I knew John as a friendly, softly spoken, gentle man with a warm smile.
The memory I am sharing belongs to my mother, June Scott. John was the first child of Charles and Margaret Scott and being born in 1948 was old enough to attend the wedding day of my parents, Don and June Scott. The rest of the future offspring of that generation of Scotts were still a twinkle in their parents eyes!.
The attached photo from that Wedding Day, the 20th March 1954, should help to put faces to names.

Charles and Margaret Scott, George 'Grampy' Scott, Don and June Scott, and there, right in the front being held by Don is
a 5year 10 month old John Scott!.
Our very kindest thoughts are with Johns' Canadian family and friends and also to all the family members here on the Isle of Wight.
with love from June Scott and all the 'St. Marys Road' Scotts.
Robert Scott.

John Thomas Scott, my biggest oldest brother emigrated to Canada when I was only 8. It felt as if a big part of my life had gone forever. 2 days before he went he came home with a doll’s pram for me, which was odd because it wasn’t even my birthday. Then 2 days later he waited for everyone to go out of the house and left a note on the table ‘Gone to Canada, John’ then walked out the door - a man of few words and a generous heart. John came home and visited three times that I remember. I was lucky to have visited John in Canada in 1978 with Kathleen and see where John lived and met my Canadian cousins on the farm. Luckily there was an aeroplane strike while we were there, so three weeks turned into six and I had my sixteenth birthday on the farm. John took us on a two week camping trip to Prince Rupert where I burst my eardrum in the cable car. Then there was a canoe trip across the lake, where we saw a bald eagle flying ahead of us. Or the moose bottom that went through the car window during a thunderstorm at night, while following her calf across the road. Then the visit to the Police station to report the accident. Memories that I will never forget. Then I feel fortunate that John came home the Summer of 1992, when I was pregnant with Ellie, and John was able to attend Mary’s christening. Which was such a wonderful memory, having my big brother with us. Our meetings with John were few but extremely special and memorable. They help to fill part of the hole that John left when he left home and emigrated. Our meetings with John were few but extremely special and memorable. I love John as much as all my brothers and sister, he was extremely special to me. Glad to think he was taken in by the Lawes family, for which we are grateful for. He had over 50 happy years in his new home of Canada. I missed having John in my life as he was such a large presence. I tried to write to him every birthday and there was the Christmas Day phone calls. A small way of keeping in touch as a family. He may be hundreds of miles away, but he remained deep in our hearts.
All my love, Maggie

Big John my brother, one of my earliest memories was rowing in John's dinghy up the river Medina and camping on the river bank. And then in his later life sailing to France on cinders with Peter and myself, what a great three weeks and then John had many more adventures with Elva and his Canadian family and friends fishing and just missing about on the water, so rest in peace Big man love Maurice and Peter.

My memories of John long before i met John are every year for Christmas John would send his Mum a big bouquet of flowers and large box of chocolates Mum was always so pleased with them.
I was married into the Scott family for 14 year before I met John for the first time ,which was at the airport with Mum and husband Maurice. John's arm wrapped around his Mum then he hugged us both . That was the summer 1992 we had so much fun with John he hung about with us getting to know our 3 sons and all his other nephews and niece's.
John was kind gentle so easy to talk too.
Many years later when our granddaughters Elysia and Lauren saw John on Skype they called him father Christmas because john looked just like him . Rest in peace dear John reunited with Alva love Elizabeth xx

John. A welcoming, friendly and kind man, who would happily give us advice when we first emigrated to Canada.
Very thankful for his advice and guidance via Skype.
Michael visited John in Saskatchewan and commented on how lovely and kind he was, a nice guy and appreciated him giving him the tour of his home town.
What wonderful adventures you must have had in Canada.
Rest in peace.
Roseanna, Michael and Rebecca

Dear John
My memories of you go back to the late 1950’s when your were a small boy.
You were always with your Grandad, Uncle Bob or Nanny Silk.
I married your Uncle Bob in 1961. We lived in Parkhurst Forest and you were always in our lives.
You were just “John” to my children, someone who looked after them when asked.
It probably wouldn’t have been easy, being 5 of them !
After my husband died in 1999 we decided to research the family trees.
We had a great time over Skype, me in the UK, you in Canada, finding all sorts back to the 1500’s on all sides.
When we did our DNA that added people from around the world. You used to get so excited when something clicked.
We now have a huge collection.
As a family we will miss you. You were always ready to help anybody.
Memories remain.
God bless, John
Mary and family

My childhood memories of John were of him working on his boat in Gurnard up the field. He used to come down our garden in Hilton Road for a drink and to get warm by the coal fire. On one occasion he tried his hand at smoking a pipe which he never mastered, but he did get my Mum (Auntie Pat) to give it a go!
My Dad (John's Uncle Lou Scott) thought the world of him and for some reason that we never found out nicknamed him 'Bullet'. Dad was so pleased when he called in to see him on a visit home from Canada and always remembered it fondly.
RIP John with love from Gilly and Susie xxx

Rest in peace my darling.

Early memories of John, he would come to our house as a young man often find him asleep on the Sofa the next morning, it was good because he had kept the fire going.
I remember when he left for his walking around Scotland, clearly a young person looking for adventure and finding it in Canada.
I only spoke to him on random occasions when calling my mum, but he always came across happy and content with life, always positive.
It can be difficult to establish yourself so far away from your natural origin, where life begins and far away from friends and family. John clearly had the strength and personality and desire to venture into life's experiences, take on the challenges of new adventures, and found his calling in Canada.
With fond memories of John during my younger days.
