Emil J. DeSanto

To The DiSanto Family;
I just heard of Emil's passing & I am so very sorry for your loss. I grew up with Emil, in Cleveland; his sister Judy & I were inseperable as kids at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Tanya, Sharon, and family,

I am so sorry for your loss.

I remember coming home with Tanya after school and eating leftovers from whatever Emil cooked the night before, which was sort of confusing because he was the first dad that I knew who cooked. These weren’t typical leftovers, though. These were artfully created, hearty, delicious Italian feasts!

Emil was a man with integrity, a wonderful chef, a loving husband, and a doting father. There aren’t a lot of men like...

Dear Sharon and Tanya-
My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you. My years spent at O.U. and living in Ohio were that much more special because of Emil and both of you. Whether it was a delicious meal, an open home, or honest advice about our boyfriends Emil always made us girls feel like we were at home and truly cared for us. Tanya is a wonderful, beautiful person and that comes from how she was raised. Thank you, Emil for all your love. I will always remember you!

Dear Sharon, Tanya and family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I never really got a chance to know Emil, but I heard many stories from Tanya. She would tell me how funny Emil was and how much he loved to cook. She talked about how good his spaghetti sauce was and how he use to cook for her roommates in college. She also told me how every Valentine's Day he would get her chocolate covered strawberries and how it was just so nice that he would think of her on...

Emil, you were my dad away from home when I was in college. I remember waiting in the dorm room for Tanya to come back from Oberlin with your famous chicken cutlets! Not only did you teach me how to make a great meal, you taught me how to be a better person. I'll never forget you or be able to tell you how much you've meant to me and all the girls at OU.
Love you,

Emil was a childhood friend from Brook Park, and st adalberts church. A friend who protected the week. Bless his soul and deapest condolences to his family.

I worked with Emil at Sun Newspapers and was so sorry to hear about his passing. Emil was ALWAYS pleasant and friendly, and a pleasure to work with. I will never forget him. My prayers to you at this difficult time.

Dear Sharon:
I was very sorry when I first heard that Emil was so sick, but the news I got was that he was doing well despite all his health issues. I am very sorry for your loss and you have been in my thoughts. I hope you and your family find the peace and comfort you need to get you through this sad time. My deepest sympathy to you, your family and Emil's family.

I am very sorry for your loss.

Sharon, Tanya, Tom, Charlotte and all of Emils' sisters and brother, nieces, nephews ( I include me in this list)I can't begin to tell you how saddened I and my family are to learn of Emil's death. Indeed, he was a fine person and should be remembered for the many good things he accomplished and will continue to accomplish
through his family. I can remember the many gab sessions he and I had in the basement. The friendship we shared and stories I remember they were great. I know that you...
