Emil was a devoted and loving father to his four children, Dr. Anthony Casino (Susan), Dr. Chris Casino (Denise), Amy Lanzelotti (Jim), and Jennifer Haberberger (Sal). He loved being "Pap" and "Tatone" to Kelly, Emily (Andy), Nick, Caleb, Hannah (Grant), Abby, Maddy, Livvy, Max, Giovanni, Jaxon, Isaiah, and Luca.

His proudest golfing moment was hitting a hole in one on Hole #3 on May 12, 2010. Along with bocci and golfing, Emil loved to travel around the world with Marlene and attend sporting events, including several Super Bowls, with his friends and sons.
