I'm just now reading of the lost of Ralph Emery. The Emery family as I remember them was our next door neighbors. Daily we’d see activity brewing from each home on the wonderful life on Muriel Place. As a little child I do recall the witty comments Ralph would say to me and my 5 brothers. My mom, Elma Hoge would undoubtedly burn cookies, but Ralph would gladly eat the burnt ones. Ralph spear headed those adventures as I recall the children were dead tried when they came back home. Ralph Emery was part of the greatest generation and did a admirable job. God bless those he has left behind. Carl Hoge
