Brenda and family. I am very sorry to hear of Emory's passing. We were friends as children and not above a good prank. God loves good humor and good music and he will be very happy with Emory ever present in his choir. May God bless and protect you all.

Brenda and family, so sorry to hear that Emory has passed. He was a big influence on me becoming a musician myself. Your Mother and my Mother (Esther Johnson) were first cousins. I have fond memories of visiting your house from Norwood Ga. on Sundays and you girls taking us to a swimming pond with a huge slide. My deepest sympathy to your family. Doug Johnson

Sympathy to the family and all that knew Emory. From your Butler High School family Herbie was an amazing guitar player, never met a stranger, always with a smile. We remember those Top Ten Dance Party shows at WJBF.
