EMMET was my boss at the Osteopathic Hospital in South Bend, IN. He taught me so much. I knew him as a fair, compassionate, fun boss. It was a pleasure to work under him and plainly know him. I've thought of him much thru the years. I was sorry to see his passing. He is safe and visiting all those patients he took such good care of, now. He is in loving arms.
With love, Jane

I have many memories of working with Emmet at Borgess. When the first intensive care unit . was opened (1967), we were both in our twenties. I was head nurse and Emmet was our respiratory therapist. (It seems like yesterday). Emmet was instramental in the care of these patients, and in teaching the nurses what we needed to know about his field. He was a unique individual, and I will never forget him. I am so sorry for your loss.

Emmet was a dear friend from yesteryear and I thought of him often. This is a sad day indeed as we never had the chance to get reacquainted. I sure hope Cindy or Lori will touch base. Willy And Di
