Dear Sileo Family,

I am so sorry to hear about Emil's passing. Emil provided uniforms for our company for many years and also used to have t-shirt stands at local festivals. He was always a pleasure to work with as he was always willing to lend a hand. He loved his family tremendously and was so proud of them especially his grandchildren. He spoke about them so fondly and looked forward to babysitting each and every time. My deepest condolences to you all during this difficult time. May all your wonderful memories comfort you.
