LARDER, KENNETH

Scott Brandon May 31, 1982 July 26, 2012

Through the process, with many layers of letting go and saying goodbye we have been reminded of what an incredibly important person Scott has been in so many lives. After the sadness and the rain comes the sunshine and the understanding of the message Scott has left with us. We have to let the rivers of sadness Áow back to the sea, so a space is once again created for joy to bubble up from inside us. In time we will again feel the joy and zest for life that Scott lived and would have wanted for all those he loved. A Celebration of Life will be held in Vancouver, BC, August 7, 2012 at 2PM at the UBC Boathouse. An informal gathering of friends will be held in Vernon, BC at a later date. In lieu of Áowers, donations may be made to the worldclasshealthcare.ca/Funding/ funding_opps_leukemia.html Although very short, Scott’s life was lived to the fullest. His bright light will shine forever through all those who knew and loved him.

Don was born March 17, 1937 in Cabri, Saskatchewan. He was the “well known” Princeton Golf Course Manager for approximately 20 years.

In lieu of ﬂowers, those wishing to do so may make a donation in Don’s memory to the North Okanagan Hospice Society (3506 – 27 Avenue, Vernon, BC V1T 1S4).
