Shirley and Family:
I am sorry to hear of Graham’s passing.
I had the pleasure of being his supervisor for the last couple of years before he retired. Graham took pride in doing a good job for the citizens of Calgary.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our sincere condolences go to Shirley and the entire family.
We met Graham (Pistol) when he volunteered to assist as a Cub Scout Leader at McDougall United Church in the early sixties. He was a dedicated and fun loving guy. The kids took to him well.
I think of him often, and remember some of the fun things we did as a group.

To the Scott family,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Graham Scott. I remember Mr. Scott as the so very nice neighbor a few doors up the street. But I also remember that without Mr. Scott there would have been no Fairview Teen Club. He was instrumental in setting up & running it for all of us growing up in Fairview in the 60′s. He was such a kind man, patient and understanding.
We are saddened with the loss of our long time friend from our teenage years (Pistol). His infectious sense of humor and laughter will be missed by all. Our sincere condolences to Shirley, Lori, Rob and families.
