Born into a large and loving family, Emerson will be remembered as a beloved brother, uncle and friend. Admired for his no-nonsense approach, Emerson truly loved life and lived it to its fullest with good humour and integrity. He enjoyed a good conversation and was an attentive and caring listener.
