Peacefully at the Exeter Villa, with family by his side, on Tuesday, October 15, 2024 of Exeter Villa, formerly of Lucan in his 92nd year. Beloved husband of the late Elizabeth “Liz” (Gilmour) Scott (2023) for over 68 years. Loving father of Michael and Marilyn Scott of Arva and Mark and Ann Scott of Lucan. Cherished grandpa of Kristen (late Rob Galbraith), Taryn and Joe Geurts, Jordan and Meghan Scott, and Steven Scott; Laura and Patrick Pryce and Brent Scott and great-grandfather of Blake and Tessa; Addison and Cohen; Teagan and Emerson. Dear brother-in-law of Patricia Romphf, and Marg Gilmour. Fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews, and extended family.

Alan was a businessman, farmer, family man and a Lucan community supporter over his entire adult life. One of his biggest pleasures was driving the combine for the fall harvest. He enjoyed his special role as a surrogate “Santa Claus” to bring Christmas joy to family and many in the Lucan area. Alan was blessed with many friends and family who will cherish his memory.

My deepest sincere sympathy to you all.
A sad day for sure.
My memories of Alan are of all the laughs.
He always had something up his sleeve and got the biggest kick out of pulling a joke on you. He was always fun to be around.
He will be greatly missed.

Sorry to hear about Alan. Thinking of you guys.
Doug & Karen Courtney
I surely hope that a younger family member might have been able to take Mr.Scott out of Exeter Villa for a short trip through Lucan….he would have been amazed at all the changes. Mr. & Mrs. Scott were great customers of ours when they returned from Fla. each yr. Mrs. Scott loved to shop and we had some great conversations besides. May they rest together once again and enjoy each others company like they always did. Doug & Karen Courtney

Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of Alan. He was a true pillar of the community, quietly helping out or donating to causes without the need for any recognition. He always put a smile on your face or had a friendly wave as he drove his side by side down Coursey Line. Lucan Biddulph has lost a great one.

Alan was one of the nicest, kindest and gentlest people I have ever had the privilege of meeting.

Dear Michael, Mark and families,
We were so sorry to hear of Alan’s passing. Please accept our deepest sympathy. I often look at the scrapbook my dad (Jack) put together of the 1982 I.P.M. and think about what a big undertaking that was. Your parents were such wonderful hosts. It was a year when many good friendships were made. May the memories that you have of your parents give you comfort now and in the days ahead. You and your families are in our thoughts during this difficult time.
Sincerely, Dave and Judy Roberts (McNamara)

With the passing of Alan we have lost a corner stone of Lucan. A man who looked out for the community ploughing snow out of lane ways or leveling dirt for someone. l miss going into the store and Alan would wave you into his office to chat and find out what you were doing. He was a true gentleman.

Dear Ann & Mark, Brent and Laura
When we moved to the Lucan area in November 1995, Alan (& Mark) were very welcoming to us. Through the years and the various soil sampling projects and crop consulting discussions my visits to William Street often included a seat in Alan’s office and some type of “philosophical” discussion. The picture of the ad for Case IH in Alan’s office certainly summed up his love of red equipment and agriculture. I know Alan is proud of the fact that Brent has become a part of the farming operation and will carry on the tradition of friendly customer service in the ever-changing world of agriculture in Lucan-Biddulph.
Your family has many, many great memories of Alan & Liz and the impact that there lives had on so many people. I pray that you all find peace in the funeral service on Monday.
Erika & Suzie Lucas
Mark, Ann & the Scott Families,

My condolences to you all on the loss of our beloved Alan, he truly was one of the kind, I adored cutting his and Liz’s hair over of the years, his stories and his laugh was infectious.
My favourite memory was when he brought his hamster(?) in his jacket to pick Liz up for her hair appointment and boy was she mad and he just laughed away with no care in the world. He was a sucker for a good joke, Liz not so much haha they were perfect together and now they are together again free of pain.
Sending my love and condolences

What a loss of a great man. When you had the store the kids would run to Alan’s office to to see Alan and his Guinea pigs. If I was out walking the dog he would pull over reach in his pocket and pull out a dog bone for the dog. He was a man that always had a smile or wave or stop and day hi to everyone. A true gentleman.
