a PEOPLE Historical heritage part of Rodger Greig's life Originator of walking tours through local conservancy branch A love of architectural and historical heritage was a driving force in the life of Rodger Greig, former school teacher, who died Saturday, Dec. 2, 1995, in Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital, a victim of cancer. ( He was 67 years old. A memorial service is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 9 at 2 p.m. in St. Phillip's Anglican Church, Milford, with Canon Thora Rowe officiating, the Whattam Fu- neral Home, Picton, in charge of arrange- ments. Born in New York City, Greig came to Canada with his parents in 1939, a move resulting from his Canadian father's de- sire to return to Canada at the outbreak of the Second World War. Greig graduated in art and archaeol- ogy from the University of Toronto and taught for some years at Moira Secon- dary School before retiring in 1979. His interest in Belleville architecture was inspired by the threatened demoli- tion of a historic home on South Front Street, for which Greig and some friends rallied community support to have it re- stored and preserved. This led to his be- ing the founding member and charter president of the Quinte Branch, Architec- tural Conservancy of Ontario, and to pro- moting "Third Sunday Walking Tours" which have become popular in Belleville and many Quinte area communities in recent years. Moving to the old Scott house at Ben- tleys Corners, south of Cherry Valley, he spent 30 years restoring the large 1820s vintage^home to precise authentic detail, doing projects almost up until his dea his wife, Mary, noted. He also set up the Prince Edward , chives in the old registry office and wr< the script for a book by Belleville public er Nick Mika on old houses in Prir Edward County. Besides his wife, he is survived by o brother and many nieces and nephews Donations to the Canadian Cancer £ ciety have been requested by the famil r-v - • '
