. . . this last March.

He had shared his battle with cancer with us; his last post was in February. I was just thinking about him literally ten minutes ago and found his wife Janet's notice that he'd passed March 7th.

Please join me in remembering our departed friend. He loved watches and cars, and shared his passions with us.

Deeply saddened,

Art

We must remember, Ernst Hemingway words: "Every man has two deaths: when he is buried in the ground and the last time someone says his name." And Emil is been remembered.
