Dear Tina, Kim, Adrianne, Andrew and all other family members--Bob and I are so sorry about Emmett's passing. We cannot attend the funeral tomorrow but are with you in our thoughts and hearts. Emmett was a special man, uncle, father and friend. Vitalem joins us in our sorrow and remembers Emmett as his uncle with great affection. He also regrets that he cannot be with the family at this time.

My dear friend Doretta often spoke warmly of her Uncle Emmett over the years. His death was tragic, but his life was amazing! Very sorry to learn of his passing. What a memorable man who obviously "made a difference" to the world.
