It is with sadness that we the family of Emerson McNamara 'Emmie', 70, announce his peaceful passing on Sept. 21, 2014.
Born in Glace Bay, NS on May 8, 1944, Emmie was the beloved son of the late Joseph and Ethel (Gillis) McNamara.
Dad was the first to offer help, even if it meant he did without. He enjoyed the things in life that really matter: laughing with family and friends; enjoying nature while camping, canoeing or (pretending) to hunt — he never did get a deer. Dad was a jack of all trades; he made a living first as a coal miner, then as the building supervisor at the Killiam Library, Dalhousie University and as a cook at the NSCC, Marconi Campus.
Emmie leaves to mourn his daughter Lillian Hamilton-Nicholson (Daniel), Dartmouth, his sons, Emerson, Toronto, and John McNamara, Halifax; grandchildren, Lisa Hiscock (Jeremy), Fredericton, Matthew (Jessica) and Ryan Hamilton, Halifax, Cinthia, Nicholas and Jessica Colakoglu (Adam), Toronto; Ian and Zachary McNamara, Halifax and great-grandchildren, Madison and Emma Hiscock, Fredericton and Aysha and Azaan Colakoglu, Toronto. Emmie is also survived by his brothers, Cyril (Cathy), Truro, Adrian (Colleen), Glace Bay, and Joey (Anne), Toronto and sisters-in-law, Barbara, Sydney, Georgina, Glace Bay, and Joanne, Pictou; many nieces, nephews and friends.
Besides his parents, Emmie was predeceased by his son, Kenneth, granddaughter Emily and his three brothers, Francis, Garfield and Gregory.
A visitation/memorial service will be held at Dartmouth Funeral Home, 29 Queen St, Dartmouth on Wednesday, Sept. 24 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. A funeral mass will take place at St. Anthony's Church, Dartmouth at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 25. Cremation will take place with interment at a later date.
