Emerson E. Cole

His Father and my grandfather were brothers. As first cousins, he, my mother and her siblings were very close. I remember him fondly and saw him like the cool uncle. He was large in presence and character. Smoking a pipe, he was always a man's man. He embodied what I knew about being a Cole, intelligence, style, charm brotherhood and humility. If I could just say one more thing to him it would just simply be "thank you!"

To the Cole family, with emphasis to Steve and Charles, please accept my condolences for your loss.

So very sorry for your loss, may the God of all Comfort be you and your family in this time of great sadness.

It can be so hard to face the first year without your loved one, but the love of family and friends can carry you through.

Treasure all of those wonderful family memories and know that he is at...

I just learned of Mr. Cole's passing. I was his Administrative Assistant from 1969 until his retirement. I know Mr. Cole will be missed by his family. I was informed he was in lots of pain. Now, he's pain free and in a better place. Lean on the Lord and he'll dry your tears and give you comfort. -- Patricia Washington

To the Cole Family,I am saddened to read of the passing of Mr. Cole. Growing up with Chuckie, his dad always wanted us to excel in sports. All these years... I did not know he was the FIRST African-American drafted by the Browns. Chuckie, Denise and family... always remember the good times with BIG-EM. Jerry Garner
