Words cannot describe what kind of man Bill Embry was- kind-hearted, gentle, family man, and one of the best friends my parents could ever have. Memories will stay with me forever on our many camping trips, his daughter Megan and I always up to no good at times, and being like a second dad to me. I will keep in my thoughts and prays as well as his entire family every day until we meet again. God Bless you Mr. Embry(dad) the Eagle that sored over us the day we celebrated your life will also be in my memory that you were there with us saying it will be ok and that we can go on with your spirit and memories and will meet you once again. God Bless this entire family. Love, Jessi
