Emmanuel Azzopardi Obituary
Emmanuel was a wonderful, caring man. He loved to laugh and could always find something to joke about. A devote Catholic he was a long time member of St. Edith Catholic Church in Livonia where he was very active in the parish. Emmanuel was a retiree of Ford Motor Company. In his free time and retirement years he enjoyed keeping busy. One of his favorite pass times was woodworking. Above all else though, Emmanuel was a family man who loved his wife, kids and grandkids with all his heart.
He was the loving husband of Dolores for 52 years. Cherished father of Frances (Richard) Hoffman and Lara (Jeff) Long. Beloved Papa of Nicole (Noah) Schooler, Richie (Alicia) Hoffman, Thomas Hoffman, Angela Long and Jubus.
The family will receive friends on Sunday May 5, 2013 from 2-9 pm, with a Rosary Service 7 pm at the Harry J. Will Funeral Home, 37000 Six Mile Rd. (east of Newburgh and I-275) in Livonia.
Emmanuel will lie in state from 10 am until the time of his Funeral Mass, 10:30 am at St. Edith Catholic Church, 15089 Newburgh Rd. (south of Five Mile Rd) in Livonia.
He will be laid to rest at Holy Sepulchre Catholic Cemetery in Southfield, Michigan.

Besides all the wonderful things that are said about Emmanuel I would like to say that I have always felt pride in calling him Uncle. He will always be remembered.

Dolores, I was so sorry to hear about Emmanuel passing. I was in Arizona on Retreat and just got the word today from St. Edith...too late to concelebate Mass for such a good family centered man. I will pray for his eternal peace especially at my next Mass and strength for you, Dolores. You were such a loving/happy couple. Fr. Jim Scheick

No eye has seen, no ear has heard what God has ready for those who love Him. Praying for you & your family at this time of loss. May the prayers of friends & the hope of Emmanuel's salvation be a comfort to you. I am sorry I never met him; Lara has always told me what a special & loving man he was. May his memory live on in the words & actions of his beloved family & friends.

We've known Emmanuel for over thirteen years and he always had a smile for all of us, since the day we moved-in next door. It was clear he loved his family above all else and we loved hearing about all the special projects he would do for them...and getting the sneak-peeks! Our grief for this loss is beyond words. Our thoughts and prayers are with Dolores, their girls and their families.
Much love,
Paul, Michelle, Madison and Aidan White
