He loved to travel with his wife, Claire. He especially enjoyed European river cruises and road trips all over the United States. Bill also loved to race his 1959 Triumph (TR3) and won many awards.

My sympathy to the entire Emery family. I worked with Bill at DLC and Beaver Valley Nuclear PS ... we collaborated on a number of design jobs over the years. Bill was a very good engineer and HVAC guy, as well as a generally good-humored and pleasant individual. He had nicknames for everyone and pet terms for most work situations ... he was always entertaining to talk to and work with. I remember one time he was painting the outside of his home after dark with lights because of the schedules we kept ... quite a character. He loved his cars, and I am happy to read that he continued with them, and had the opportunity to travel, after his retirement. It was a privilege to know him.

My sincere condolences. I first met Bill through Steel Cities Region, where I raced my MGB in the same class as Bill & his TR3. Later, we renewed our friendship via the Western PA Triumph Assn. It was always fun when Bill joined us for our monthly Beer & Bull meetings, as he always had great (and FUNNY) stories to tell. We (our group of "gear-heads") will sure miss Bill, but will be thankful we were able to know him and share good times with him.
