It is with great sadness that the family of John Wright Scoular announce his passing. Born in Glasgow Scotland12 Oct 1939, and died at home in Duncan, BC with family at his side, 5 June 2011. Predeceased by parents Robert and Robina Scoular, sister Jean Patterson. Faithful husband to Margaret (Armour) for nearly fifty years; father to Agnes (David), Robina (Allan) and John (Susan).

Uncle, Friend, Mentor and Confidant to many.
John brought his wife and daughters to Canada in 1966, and after the birth of his son settled in London, Ontario where John succeeded as Processing Designer for Labatt Canada.

We were all very sadened to read of John’s passing in the London Free Press on Tuesday. John was an amazing friend to everyone at Labatt’s for many years. We worked very hard and put long hours into the confidential projects but always had loads of fun together as well. At our Retiree’s Golf Tournament yesterday John was remember as a gentleman and a scholar as we raised a glass to beer to him…
We really missed everyone when you moved to B.C. but you were never far from our thoughts…God Bless you all. Nancy
