So sorry Neal. Even at 96 he was still handsome. Always a classy guy. Always nice to see your family on Sundays at Grace Lutheran. Such a nice man and a good and faithful servant of our Lord.

Our Sweet Emil will remain in our hearts and minds forever. He was definitely one of my most favorite people. Every day when we drive past his farm, memories flood my mind of Emil. I think he was probably one of the greatest examples of how to live a Godly life. His love for God, family, friends and community was overflowing. What a wonderful day when we will see him again, forever. Love you Emil

My parents, Vernon and Dorothy Russum, lived just down the hall from Emil at Glenns Place. I enjoyed getting to know Emil from my visits with my parents. My favorite memory was during a music program one Monday when we got some of the residents to get up and dance. Emil didnt miss a beat and was quick to get up and dance-it was evident that he had done this many times before! He always had a smile on his face and seemed to at ease with his situation. <br>My sympathies to your family...<br>Judy Russum Seibel
