Just heard about Emmett's passing from Harper Smylie. I, along with Harper, worked for Tatum in the early '70s doing residential plumbing work. I have some great stories to tell my grandkids about some of my adventures with Emmett. Emmett got me started in plumbing in Austin and I stayed in or near the plumbing field for the rest of my working life. I have thought of Emmett many times over the years. I'm sorry to hear he's no longer with us.

So sorry to hear about Emmett's passing. I was lead to look him up on the internet and came across his obit. I worked for EHT as an apprentice plumber in Austin back in the '70's. We worked hard; we learned much about business and life. Emmett had an outsized influence on my life. I remember him fondly. He was a good man. May God bless him.
