I am so sorry to hear about Emils passing. I met Emil a few years ago when I began researching our family history. He was a wealth of information and shared freely so much information. Im so blessed for having met him.

Emil was my father-in-laws best friend. They were on every neighborhood committee & school board together. They loved to hunt together and most of all, share each others company. He will be missed but I know that Albert welcomed him with open arms. Prayers to the Delgado Family.
