I was sorry to hear of Emil's passing.  Many years ago, the family purchased groceries at my father's grocery store... the Stanley Street Market.  I remember Emil, his wife and lovely daughters as being among our favorite custormers.  Times have certainly changed... it was a fine neighborhood back in the day... and the obituary brought back some fond memories.  Best wishes to his family... I know you all made him proud.
