It was with great sadness and shock that I heard of Scott’s death. I too had met Scott in law school back in the early 1980’s. Scott had in common with myself and others not living at home the “starving student” traits – always welcoming home cooked meals when offered - in this case by my mother. She believed lads needed lots of red meat and would ply Scott with copious amounts of food and wine! At graduation, my family met Scott’s parents (his wonderful mother “Sporty”) and over the years we have stayed in ad hoc contact, sharing in some of his special moments, such as the announcement of his marriage to Michelle, and the early pictures of Spencer and Emily, including a family photo of the Scott, Michelle, Spencer & Emily on the Cabot Trail in 2004. The years passed with contact less frequent but we were all sharing in similar life events. Scott was so very proud of his family, but never in a boastful way. He was bursting with pride when Emily was shown on local television doing her dancing and sent several of us the video link. The last photos he sent were less than 2 weeks before his passing, showing Spencer and Emily as young adults. I had somehow thought that we would continue to share moments for decades to come as we all shared this journey call life. Again deepest sympathies from the (Kimberly) Ellard family to the Hazzard family.

My sincere condolences to Scott's family. Scott was a kind soul at the University of Ottawa Law and he was a solid and cheerful addition to our gang. Very sorry to hear of his all too early passing.

I am very saddened to hear this. I knew Scott when we were both at Blakes. I also worked for some time at H & H. I recommended clients to him, particularly in employment matters, confident that he would serve them well and fairly, and he did.
My condolences to his family and friends, and especially Michelle, Spencer and Emily.

I am very sorry to hear of this sad news. Scott was in our small group at Ottawa U. Law School. Scott was very well-liked and much admired for his cheerful and stoic approach to his illness.
My thoughts are with his family at this very sad time.

I, too, remember Scott from our law school days. My most vivid recollection is how handsome Scott was - especially rockin his leather jacket. I picture Scott on his motorcycle - but I might have made that up! Scott was a gentleman - a gentle and kind giant. He will be missed. My sincere condolences to his family, Elana

Scott had quiet energy and tenacity. I imagine those traits propelled him ahead, despite any adversity he may have faced. He was fun to be around. Scott smiled from his heart, and I am sure he always did so; and that is one of the wonderful memories that will comfort his beloved family.
Scott was part of our happy law school family-the class of '84. He was around- entertwined with us all in and out of the classroom. Quiet, but having the requisite sense of humour to enable him to keep hanging out with us!
In third year, I too was part of the Henderson Street household in September 1983, along with Scott, Paul J. Paul H. and Mike v. until I moved across the street. I was a frequent pop by neighbour/past resident to the house and saw Scott et al often...
Moving from Ottawa to Alberta right after law school, my orbit changed over the years. Reunions ensure that we re-align for a bit, and these events are precious- for it is as if no time has passed. Scott's strength and his laugh are what I will remember. I send that strength and that love back to those in his closest orbit: his wife and his adored children.

It's been quite a while since I inflicted Scott with direct communications (I've been in BC for 34 years) but, as per the picture Paul Heney uploaded into these condolences (I'm the one in blue with the rat (Hose-head) on my shoulder) and Scott is doing his best James Dean on the left, Mike Van Dusen and Paul Heney rounding out the quartette), we lived together on Henderson Street, in the heart of Sandy Hill, on the threshold of having our idealism beaten out of us as we embarked upon our legal careers. Ah those were the days.
I remember Scott as quiet, deep and logical, probably driven nuts to some of the rest of us but a dependable friend. He was also very inspirational in the way he faced his Hodgkins lymphoma which struck him early in law school but which, despite the effects of chemo, a toupee which put Gerry George to shame and prospects of a short life, it didn't slow him down a bit. It would have knocked some of us off the rails for sure.
So from the west coast out here, profound lament on hearing this sad news. Regards to all of us who shared that magical world together so many years ago and, Scott, may your continued journey be one of happiness, love and fulfillment as is our memory of you.

I had the privilege of getting to know Scott Hazzard during law school. I believe his coping with cancer while attending law school gave him a depth and compassion that set him apart in the best way possible from the rest of us. He was sweet, kind and always fun to be with. His stoicism amazed me. He was one of the heroes I have known in my life and I was afraid we were going to lose him very young. He has left us too young. I am sorry to stay Scott and I only saw each other occasionally at reunions after graduation. Family, career and the inexorable passage of time separate us from our youth and the people who were once part of the fabric of our daily lives.
My sincere condolences to Michelle, Spencer & Emily and all of his family and closest friends.

I am so very sad to learn of Scott's passing. I met him in law school, and have fond memories of him joining in all the parties and get togethers, Law Follies, costume parties etc. where we would all let off some steam. Once we had all graduated and started our careers, we still kept in touch via email and at reunions of classmates, both informal and formal. He was so proud of Spencer and Emily and I enjoyed hearing how they, Scott and Michelle were all doing. Scott was taken too soon, and will be missed. My deepest condolences to his family

Scott and I met many years ago in law school, quickly became fast friends, and ultimately roommates, together with Paul Heney, for a number of years at the start of our legal careers in Toronto. Those were certainly fun filled years together, which I remember fondly. Gradually, we all began to move on with our separate lives and I regret that, other than the occasional law school reunion or get together, we were not in contact as often. Recently, however, I was fortunate to re-connect with Scott via e-mail. We updated each other, especially regarding our kids and their achievements (all now successfully in university). I will cherish that recent re-connection.
I will remember Scott always as a strong, ever reliable friend, there for me in some of my lowest moments (like the early death of my father), and I will mourn his far too early passing deeply. My sincerest condolences to his wife, Michelle, his kids, Spencer & Emily, and his brother, Kevin. I look forward to remembering Scott together with you at a Celebration of his life in the future.

Scott was a dear friend, a classmate, roomie and legal colleague. We shared many personal and professional experiences during both the formative years of our legal training and through our careers. I valued and depended on both his friendship and his skill and judgement in dealing with complex issues that he helped my clients navigate through; he always made me look good! He was always there whenever I needed his assistance. He was very proud of his kids and visits to his office always began with stories and pictures of their progress. My most sincere condolences to Michelle, Spencer, Emily and Kevin. It is an enormous loss and I hope you all find comfort in the coming days from each other and from the knowledge he had a significant positive impact on many people.
