In his 101st year, (Albert) Scott

left this world peacefully on November 23rd, 2014 in
Peterborough, Ontario.
He lives on in the memories of his family and friends.
Predeceased by his loving wife of 62 years Molly, (nee Dorland), his sister, Eunice Bell, and his dear friend, Peggy O�Brien.
He is the loving father of Eleanor
Stillman (Fowler), Terry Montgomery (Florence Guy),
Jim Montgomery (Catherine)
and Rose Montgomery-Whicher (Ian).
As a grandfather who never forgot a birthday,
and who always took an
interest in each of their lives,
he will be missed by Terry (Adriana), Anne
(Jeremy), David (Nicole), Anthony (Yawen), Madeleine (Mike),
Justine (Jesse),
Thomas, Sophia and Christopher.
He will also be missed by his great
grandchildren:
Mary, Rodrigo, Priscilla, Owen and Emma

and nephews.
Scott grew up in
Toronto when cars shared the road with horses
and airplanes were uncommon.
He
attended St. Andrew�s College in Aurora and the University of Western
Ontario.
He had a successful
career in the insurance business. After graduation, he joined his father at
A.H. Montgomery and Co. where he later assumed ownership. When the company was
merged with Lukis Stewart,
a large UK firm, he became a director.
During WWII
Scott worked to support international relief with the
Save the Children Fund;
a
commitment which he maintained throughout his life.
In retirement Scott and Molly spent happy days entertaining
family as well
as gardening at their summer home in Cape Cod.
Their travels
included England, Ireland and Switzerland.
In October, the family
gathered with him for a grand celebration of his 100th birthday.
