Gary Emr

I dated Gary in college and he was always so much fun. He loved to entertain the crowd and he could clear the dance floor with his outrageous dance moves. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. My best to his family.

I first met Gary as an agent at New York Life. We immediately saw him as somebody that we could trust for sound advice. He always had time to talk things through and suggest some great ideas to help me be successful too. Always being there to help was the first reason I liked Gary. Anybody that met Gary, if even for a brief moment knew immediately that he was very friendly, very knowledgeable in his craft, the financial services business, and had a kind heart. The second thing I realized was...

I met Gary through Brian and The Rosenes at the Czech Center Museum Houston. He was a wonderful tour guide, and friend. Not to mention that he was a tremendous help during Events. Gary effortlessly diffused situations between the clients when there was a heated discussion. He also calmed me down when I was stressed with his optimistic viewpoint during the moment at hand and life in general. He was funny and made work enjoyable with his quick wit. Two vivid memories I have when I worked...

As a neighbor, friend, and fellow Parkinsonian Gary will be sorely missed. He was always positive, eager to learn, and helpful. In the Parkinson's support group he helped load the car, set up the meeting room, and then clean up at the end. He was truly a special person.

Our condolences to the family. The Emr's were the first family that we met when we moved into Huntwick. We have many memories of Gary and his great sense of humor. He will never be forgotten.

I met Gary during the startup years of the Houston Chapter of the University of Dayton Alumni. He was very supportive of our efforts and was a joy to be with at the events.

His love & friendship will be with us forever.

Such fond memories of good times with Gary ... Playing FARKLE, rooting for the Astros in the Astrodome, dancing to the Rolling Stones in the Astrodome, Jazz Fest, celebrating St. Pat's at the Shamrock Hotel, Derby Day, Austin, San Marcos river float, just to remember a few. We will never forget Gary and how he embraced us when we were new to Houston.

Dear Adrianne,
I love the scripture, that to be absent from the body is to present with the Lord. Your dad is now in the arms of a loving God.
May angels surround you and your family during the weeks to come and may the peace that passes all understanding be yours.
Love and major hugs!
