Dear Family of Emil,
My name is David Sheer. I was a friend of Emil in High School at MMI. Class of '71. I always appreciated Emil's friendship back then. He was (in my opinion) a teriffic person. Always a "giving" person. Please remember that he is in a wonderful place now where there is no suffering. R.I.P. Emil.
