warm smile and hearing " hello sweetheart" as we walked into his store. Our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy is extended to your entire family. What an mark he made and left on all of us!

Sincerly,

I can't believe I will not see Emile's smiling face. Every time I walked through the door at his store he would say "here comes Rusty." That wasn't my name, but my favorite race car driver. As I walked through the store picking up various Rusty items, he would talk and laugh with my husband. We were both stunned and moved to tears when we read about his death.

Dear Maryann,

I read of Emile's passing online this morning and it brought a flood of memories. We went way back to the toddler days on Lillian Road ~ c. 1952-3.

It was a great neighborhood back then! My older brother Billy was a Boy Scout and Emile's dad was his troop leader.

Our heartfelt sympathies in this, your time of grief.
