In Loving Memory

On Saturday November 8th, 2025 we lost our Emmett.  He was incredibily loved and will be deeply missed by his wife, family and freinds.  Emmett always made everyone around him feel relaxed and welcomed with his witty humor, laughter and bright smile. His storytelling and funny faces will always be with us. We'll miss his singing & dancing, showing us something new and always telling us to be careful. Emmett was brave facing many challeges with Alzheimer's Disease, through his journey he remainded resiliant, loving and faithful.

Emmett was a business owner for nearly 61 years.  He learned refrigeration very young and continued his training in the US Air Force 807th Civil Engineering Squadron. He trained and learned refrigeration, HVAC and develpment of liquid oxygen. He furthered his passion for the trade over the time of his life servicing residential and business customers throughout SoCal with their refrigeration and HVAC needs with a 24/7 dedication. He trained and mentored many a man who wanted to learn the trade. He was alway there to teach and to listen.
