I am so disappointed that I did not get a chance to say thanks for the very fond memories that I will always have of Emil while he served as a Manager with the MLCC. He was a true gentleman who became a friend. Karen and I always felt welcome by Emil's openess. Our deepest thoughts are with you Mary and Lori - Posted by: Andrew Maitland (Friend) on: Mar 22, 2012

My sincere condolences to Emil's family. How well I remember blonde Bernice and dark haired Emil. They are ever young in my mind for I have not seen them since we were about 24 years old. Lovely people. I Went into a liquor store in Wpg for the first time but did not know how to fill in the form required in those days. Looked for help and there was Emil! I was an R.N. by then and it was so nice to see him again. God comfort his loving family and grant him eternal rest. How sad that Bernice was gone so early. She was so likeable and with that spontaneous giggle. Vichnaya Pam'yat. - Posted by: Patricia Sawadsky (Patsy Craig - Mayowsky family) (Angusville School classmate) on: Mar 22, 2012

Thank you so much for allowing George and I to continue to be a part of your lives for over 50 years. As your flower girl, I always will remember the picture of the wind on your wonderful hooped dress. On this sad occasion, I will always remember Emil for his soft-spokeness and gentle manner.
