Emil GREFLUND

Emil was a second father to me. I met Emil's nephew, Henrik Jacobsen, in Grade 4 and remain close friends with him today.

Emil was a true gentleman. Always a kind word to everyone. He lived a great life. My thoughts go to his wife Edith and the other members of his lovely, close-knit family. Emil will be missed.

Never short of an opinion or a political idea Emil was engaged and bright as can be to the very end. My uncle was an example to us all with his humour and work ethic and family life. My deepest condolences to Edith, his sons, their wives and children.
