I remember Emilio well, but mostly as "boss". That's what my Mom Lydia always called him for all the 20 plus years she worked with him every Tax season. He was really funny and nice and would always tell me to listen to my parents, and ask me if I had a job yet. I was like 10 years old!. He and my Mom were 1 year apart in age and got along great, and I'm glad they both had long productive lives, and are both in a much better place.
