I remember Emil as my bus driver back in the day! He always had something fun up his sleeve. I remember he had a word scramble and we could guess each day and put our guess in a coffee can. I won! It was Quasar. Funny that I still remember it today and I am 64 yrs old! I am sorry for your loss! Prayers to your family.
