Emerson C. Koetje

Barb and family Em was one of my early heroes ...I can still see # 23 running for touchdowns for the MVHS Bulldogs... Later I became friends with Barb and Em at Central Washington ... I would then see him around Seattle ... Around 2000 Em and I would meet up at the Bulldog Classic and we would rekindle our friendship and tell the same stories over again ... I will miss my friend, just like numerous others ... R I P Em .... Condolences to the Koetje family ..

Barb and family, Sending you hugs and prayers during this time. Emerson was a wonderful, funny man! Cherish the memories and may God give you strength.
