My condolences to the Reda family.

I remember Emilio as a next door neighbor and friend. As youngsters we spent some happy times together.

I knew Emil through my brother-in-law and sister (Tom and Michelle Lentine). Emil was very kind and gentle. Whenever I saw him, he always had a sense of humor. Emil will be missed by all.

Emil was my very first boss and working at IGA was and always will be my favorite job. It was like being a part of a family and Emil was the main reason why. He looked after us and treated us as a father would, had a great sense of humor, and even made working on Sundays fun. Even long after working at the store, Emil would always refer to those of us who worked for him as "his girls." Some of the best memories I have are from my "IGA experience" and I will always think of Emil in his white apron hustling around that store making sure things were getting done. He was a great boss and a wonderful man. He will be missed more than he knows.
