Today I found out of Emilio´s passing. He was my son´s uncle. Micheal Rosales.
Emilio was always smiling, cracking jokes. He was the one who got me into Tejano music.
He was a good brother in law.
To his family May God Be With You Always!

I am sorry to hear of his passing. I was married to him briefly (post Linda) when he was stationed at Luke AFB in Phoenix back in the 70s.

Emilio was a really great guy. We were friends in school and we made contact again, when l began working on our class reunion. It was just like l expected, talking to an old friend and we were right back where we were school in a matter of minutes. He was always dedicated to his future and so it is no surprise to me that he made the military his career. Rest in Peace my dear friend.

Emilio was always kind to everyone in high school ... Did not get the opportunity to see him very much after school, but only at a few reunions off the Great Tivy Class of 1968 ... We always considered each other friends to this day! ... Be Blessed in God's hands

In our hometown of Kerrville, TX, Emilio and I and an occasional few others used to walk home together in elementary school. That was the beginning of our friendship throughout our school days. I remember him as a steady and responsible person with a kind heart and a sense of humor. I am so saddened to learn of his passing. Condolences to his family in his Arizona home and elsewhere.
