My Loving Father. He knew how to converse with people of all persuasions, from every walk of life. A real go-getter. Not one to sit around and wait for things to happen. Accomplished. Dedicated. Loved (period)

I met Emory when I was about 8 or 9. Always nice to me. Like the cool Uncle. Would help me fix my Lawn Mower so I could keep making money as a 9-10 year old kid. Always nice to me. Sorry for everyone’s loss.
