Family and Loved Ones of Emil,
Emil was a great caring funny and loving person. I will always remember that great smile and laugh. He always made you feel better by just being around him. He will always be with all of you in the rising of the sun in tis setting every night in the laughter and yes to the tears. He touched many lives and none of us will every be the same. As I sat there in church before the funeral I could not stop thinking about the Mother Cabrini Christmas party a couple of years ago when he and girls sang tiny bubbles and he was blowing the bubbles it was so Emil. He will be truly missed.

His work ethic and determination to finish a job will forever be ethched into my mind. Remember when he played baseball with us in the prairie. He was a great role model.
To the family: I'm sorry for your loss - my prayers are with him. Your mom and dad welcomed me into your family and treated me so well. I will always be grateful. God bless both of them!! Go Cubbies
