Not sure what to say?

Emanuel holds a special place in my heart as one of my late brother´s best friends during Mike´s too-short life. Emanuel was always kind, gentle and good-humored. He even graciously tolerated me, Mike´s pestering younger sister! He leaves a wake of people blessed to have known him. I wish you peace and love. Mar Dee

One year later, I still remember his friendship, his honesty, and his way to keep you humble and grounded. Rest In Peace, h

Leslie and family,

So saddened to hear of the loss of EJ. I was fortunate to be one of his bankers over the last 10 years.

A few years ago I went back to my old school as Mount Union had finally persuaded the ATO's to move off campus after 100 +/- years and the Tau's were having one final Pig Roast as a send off. My friends and I were signing in when I looked up into the doorway and saw Manny! Not only did I have the pleasure of knowing him professionally, but we were brothers...

Leslie, Ann and I send our condolences and prayers from our home in Florida. Emanuel aka Manfred was not only a football teammate and fraternity brother, but a life long friend. Emanuel was always interested in my professional life and family life, and was my biggest critic, when needed. He was a caring and honest man, who was very proud of his family and his life long relationship with you. He will be missed, but my memories of him on the football field, fraternity house, and our fraternity...

Offering Our deepest sympathy during this difficult time.

Deepest condolences and prayers Leslie, Adam , Emily and Samantha . NEVER FORGOTTEN ...., FOREVER MISSED. ❤
