My sincere condolences to Emery’s family and friends. I had the privilege to meet Emery in 2009 when he worked at DLFD. I was immediately impressed by his intellect and devotion. As I got to know him better over the subsequent years I also gained an appreciation for his particular sense of humour. You will be missed brother RIP. Ubique! Erik
