Captain Scott Patch CD
Scott Patch, 75 years, passed away in Langley on Sunday August 14, 2016. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 38 years, Jackie, his daughters Cindy (Duane Monsen), Jennifer (Dominic Bifolchi) and his son Nathan (Vanessa Leslie). He is sadly missed by his grandchildren, Laura and Derek Monsen, and many relatives and friends. Scott was born in Vancouver and moved to Kelowna as a teenager. He graduated from Kelowna Secondary School in 1959. He worked for the provincial government for over 35 years, first in the Department of Highways and then in Emergency Management, working throughout the province before settling in the Lower Mainland. He served with the Reserve Forces in Kamloops (Rocky Mountain Rangers), Kelowna (British Columbia Dragoons), Sault Ste Marie (49th Field Artillery) and Vancouver (15th Field Artillery), retiring as a Captain after 26 years. Scott was active in historical re-enacting, both in Canada and Washington State and he enjoyed many stories around the camp fires with his fellow re-enactors. After retirement Scott enjoyed Wednesday lunches with friends, birdwatching, reading about military history, and time with his family. A memorial service will be held at Henderson’s (Langley) Funeral Home on Monday August 22, 2016 at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Rocky Mountain Rangers Regimental Museum, 1221 McGill Road, Kamloops, BC.
