To Colleen, Derek, Kieran and family; Please accept my condolences for the loss of your father and grandfather. I met Emmett only once, in a restaurant, but as with you, we were able to connect right away. He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren at the time, and I could see how much he enjoyed being in the centre of you all.
