ELGIN -- Emmett "Mac" Snelgrove, 86, who vacationed near Portland for many years, died November 15 at the Hurlbut Nursing Home, Rochester, N.Y., following a long illness.

He and his wife loved the area around Portland and built a cottage on Big Rideau Lake, where he enjoyed gardening.
He became an expert in growing peas, his favourite vegetable.
His other hobby was golf, which he played as often as possible. He enjoyed watching both golf and baseball on television. He also enjoyed travelling, but his family and special times with them were the highlights of his life.

He was predeceased by three sisters, Marion Christianson, Kathleen O'Malley and Jean Snelgrove, and one brother, Donald Snelgrove.
His funeral was held November 19 at St. Peter's Anglican Church, in Newboyne, with the rector, Rev. Steve Timpson, officiating, assisted by Rev. Canon Bill Clarke of Kingston. Burial was in St. Peter's Anglican Cemetery, Newboyne.
The pallbearers were Lamont Brown, Elmer Campbell, Derek Campbell, A.J. Seward, William Van Allen and Ron Welch.
