Obituary
It’s with much sadness that we announce the passing of our father, grandfather, brother, and friend on Saturday, September 18, 2021. Aubrey “George” passed away suddenly, but peacefully at home in Blackhead at the age of 73 years. Predeceased by parents Harold and Mary Earle, mother and father-in-law Bride and Gordon Snelgrove. Sisters Phoebe and Hazel, and most recently his loving wife of 48 years Joan (September 4, 2021). Leaving to mourn devoted daughters Sharon (Todd) and Georgina (Ray). Grandchildren Breanna and Brandon (Father Fred) and Michael, all of which he loved endlessly. As well as sisters Bessie (Jake – deceased), Dot (Morley – deceased), Margaret (Fred), Winnifred (John) and Jean (Bernard – deceased). Brothers-in-law David and Terry (Linda) Snelgrove and sister-in-law Karen (Andre) Halliday. Numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends. Also remembering special furry friends Tazz and Daisy. George spent much of his life working with the Canadian Coast Guard as a lighthouse keeper across the province. He was a true example of someone who loved his job. George loved telling stories of his experiences on various lighthouse stations and the many friends he made along the way.
