Not sure what to say?

The Emersons were my neighbors and my friends. They were kind and modest people. I would not have known of his heroic service except when we were setting a date for some event and the date proposed, would not work because of a gathering with the Tenth Mountain group. I later was able to learn about that awesome group. I still miss those wonderful friends and think of them often.

To all you Emerson kids. I think of your Mom so often, as mail to her has been returned, phone doesn't work, even e mail. I hate to lose track of dear Bobbie as we have been friends for more than 70 years. So I would appreciate a way to contact her, or know that you will pass on my love to her. Jackie Last, 504 3rd Ave. E, Jerome, ID 83338

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

We'll miss Bob; but know that we will treasure many memories of him over the years, since those old "boarding house roommate" days with Merv. Our thoughts are with you, Bobbie, and your family.
