A message of sympathy and gratitude. Pat and Joe have had such a full and loving life, a fabulous family, great friends and yet, with all the demands on their life, it was Pat and Joe who answered my desperate call the night my husband Ivan passed away and their support and friendship continues to this day.
My husband and I were fortunate enough to be included in the fun and friendship of the Scott’s social circle, both in Winnipeg and Florida. An epic outing to St. Augustine still brings Pat and I to tears of laughter. Joe made us laugh, he had a great sense of humour; his eyes, face and delivery were truly unique.
Even after I moved to Vancouver, Pat and Joe continued to provide friendship and support. They made 3 trips to visit, one was an Alaska cruise, the last in August 2019, coming by train. It was on that last visit that Joe decided he would try to sincerely apologize for blowing in my ear as a greeting. Pat and I assured him it was okay as it made our friendship kind of special, in spite of the ear drum damage!
I know the pictures and memories I have with Pat and Joe will bring some tears at this time, but I also know the memories will bring smiles, and Pat and I will continue to reminisce, ending each FaceTime with our special friend ritual. I will be forever grateful for having Pat and Joe in my life.
My sincere condolences, Heather Biblow McDougall
