Not sure what to say?

I knew Emil professionally. He was a fine lawyer and even better person. I always enjoyed my experiences in working with him. I tried on more than one occasion to lure him to my firm but he was very loyal to his partners and would not leave them. My condolences.

Emil was always a gentleman and very respected peer. Whenever, I had a matter where he was the attorney on the other side I took delight. I knew we would revolve all issues reasonably and have laughs, share good stories and grow our friendship. His keen intellect was only surpassed by the warmth of his kindness. May he Rest In Peace,

I was a professional colleague and friend of Emil for the past forty years. He was a fine lawyer, and an even finer person. So very sad.

So sorry to hear of Emil's passing. I enjoyed working for him very much. I always teased him that he was my favorite boss. We would listen to James Taylor music in the afternoon when the office was quiet. He was a good, good man. I am sorry for Diane and the girls but am happy he will finally be at peace. God bless.
