Emil was a world traveler with a grand sense of adventure. He enjoyed various activities throughout his life with many days on the pontoon boat, motorcycle adventures, canoeing amongst the gators and snakes, and cycling in the everglades. An avid reader with an inspiring love of life, Emil aways had a great sense of humor and the patience of a saint (Papa E). His stories and his spirit will live on in our minds and hearts forever.
