Family was important to Emilio and he enjoyed spending time with his great-nephews and great-nieces, especially cutting grass on a ride-a-mower and stocking up the cookie jar for the kids.

Emilio was loved by all and is survived by his sister Guiseppina, niece Marissa, nephew Luciano in Italy, nephews Gino (Colleen), Roberto (Emily) and Marco (Carmen), and by many
great- nephews, great- nieces and step grandchildren.

He is predeceased by his wife Sarafina Gallina, stepsons Ermo Loro and Frank Loro, parents Fortunato and Amabile, and by his four brothers Carlo, Luigi, Alfredo, and Ivano.
