Mr. Pielke was a strong, smart, and charismatic man. As a good friend of his daughter Heather, I have many fond memories of Mr. Pielke. He fought a hard battle, but now he is in heaven smiling down on his beautiful wife and daughter and will be there in spirit to guide them through their future successful endeavors! I send my love and prayers to the family.

Everywhere I have gone in the community these last few days, I have met another friend of Emil, another person whose life was better for having known him, another person to miss him. He was a friend, a mentor, a counselor, an honest man. His life with us was a great ride. He is enjoying a greater ride now.

I am so sorry to hear this very tragic news. I was a member of the Overlea Lions with Emil and it was a honor to be in the same club as him.

Dear Uncle Emil,
I regret not knowing you better.
I'm so sorry you had to endure this illness
that took you away from our family.
I will always remember you as
an intelligent, kind, and honorable gentleman.
Please watch over Aunt Virginia and Heather,
giving them strength and guidance.
With love from your niece, - Debra

Emil was one of the best men I ever knew. He was a loyal friend and a true gentleman. He was honest and forthright and would say what had to be said - even if it wasn't what you wanted to hear. He had a quiet sincerity about him and a dry sense of humor that could make the most hardened of us smile. I will miss him very much.

I will always remember us as children, running through the aisles of azaleas. You fought the good fight against cancer. As a cancer survivor, I will keep fighting for a cure in both of our names.
