McGRATH, Emmett Wayne – 73, of Porter’s Lake passed away on November 8, 2018. Born in Lower L’Ardoise, Richmond County, Nova Scotia, he was the son of Thomas and Evelyn McGrath. He was predeceased by, Margie, his wife of 45 years, and will be dearly missed by his children, Stephen (Melanie) and Maureen (Kyle) and his grandchildren, Maiti, Ryan, Thomas and Josie. He is survived by his sisters Marie (Dave) and Sharon and his brother Michael (Wanda) (all of Richmond County), and many nephews and nieces. He was predeceased by siblings Irene (Leo), Bobby (Pat) and Ray (Cora). Emmett was a life-long teacher, whose career spanned many years on the Eastern Shore with students at Porter’s Lake, West Chezzetcook and Lawrencetown. He enjoyed running errands in the community, which he viewed more as opportunities to socialize than as chores, and loved his daily visits with his Tim Horton’s crew. In the years since his retirement, he was devoted to his grandchildren. A Number One fan, Papop logged countless miles attending hockey games and other sporting events, concerts and many other activities. He never missed an opportunity to celebrate the milestones in their lives. The family will receive relatives and friends at Rowlings Funeral Home, Musquodoboit Harbour, on Monday, November 12, 2018 from 6-9 PM and at the Holy Guardian Angels Parish Funeral Home in L’Ardoise, Richmond County, on Tuesday, November 13, 2018 from 6-9 PM.
