Roy Scarr

April 11,1925 - February 7, 2016

Longtime Roberts Creek resident Roy Scarr peacefully left us in the early hours of the morning on

February 7th with his family surrounding him. Predeceased by his wife Pat, he is survived by his

children Kate(Paddy), Dan(Chris), Brian(Stacy), his grandchildren Ariel(Steve), Matt(Keya),

Timothy, Thomas and his great granddaughter Rosie. Almost on cue, as he gave his last breath, a

distant train blew its whistle and it felt like he was sweetly calling goodbye.

Roy was a gentle and humorous man, born and raised in Kerrisdale, Vancouver where he excelled

at sports, particularly basketball, and where the Fraser River flatlands and coastal waters were he

and his brother Bob's adventure playground. A vet of the Canadian army and lifelong employee of

the BC Telephone Company, he married Patricia Ewart in 1951, spending 63 years together raising

their three children. Retiring in 1983, they moved to Roberts Creek, BC to their beautiful

waterfront family home and spent over 30 years fishing, gardening, golfing, traveling and enjoying

time with their extended family and friends who came to visit.

After Pat’s death two years ago his family felt grateful for the extra time they had with their father;

enjoying trips to Hawaii, the Okanagan and an epic last fishing trip with son Brian and grandson

Timothy. Over his lifetime, Roy volunteered for the Kerrisdale Community Center, many community

groups on the Sunshine Coast and The Sunshine Coast Golf & Country Club.

A celebration of life will be held April 23, 2016 at the Sunshine Coast Golf & Country Club between

1-4 pm at 3206 Sunshine Coast Hwy Gibsons BC. In lieu of flowers please make a donation in

Roy’s name to the Sunshine Coast Salmonid Enhancement Society http://scsalmon.org/aboutscses.
