His colleague at Council, Donnie Snook became quite emotional when recalling Mott's quiet manner.
Mott is being remembered as a man who loved Saint John as well as sports believing it gave young people self esteem, saw the good in everyone and would pay out of his own pocket to buy a young person a baseball glove.
Mott served as a past President of the Saint John Horsemen's Association and coached three Little League Canadian championships. He also owned three harness racing horses, one of which "Stoney B" was named horse of the year in 2000.
A funeral service will be held Thursday at noonhour in the Fundy Funeral Home Chapel.
