Dear Dora and immediate family: My sincere sympathy to you and your family at this time of loss for Emil. He was such a good man and faithful to God and his lovely family. I enjoyed your sincere friendship over the years at Grace Baptist Church. I hope and pray that you will be alright in the days ahead. I pray for peace of mind over the days ahead. Many blessings to you and your family, SRW.

The Ho family would like to send our condolences to you and your family. We would not be here today without the pioneering work of Emil. We are thankful for his presence and his legacy.

Heartfelt condolences go out to Tante Dora, Iris (Blaine) and Steve. Uncle Emil holds so many amazing memories for me; summers in Penticton, endless fun on the acreage, winter in Palm Springs and so many more. His laughter was infectious and endearing. His joy and zest for life was unmatched. He will be dearly missed. What a blessing it is that he is now with his Heavenly Father, who he lived earnestly and passionately for. Lots of love, Marita

Condolences from our family to the whole Schmidt family. From my limited interactions with Emil, I was impressed with his friendliness and generosity, as well as the industriousness and ingenuity that seems to be a Schmidt hallmark. Our kids still speak of the giant swing, and all the wonderful features that he had incorporated onto his lovely property over the years. Our sincere sympathies to all of you on Emil's passing. - Mark Laser and family

My deepest condolences go out to Dora, Steve, Iris and their families. Emil gave me a start in my life career and it was through his determination, strong work ethic, and tough but fair teaching that I am who I am today. I would not be where I am without his and Dora's guidance. He is now in heaven free from pain and suffering with the Lord he loves.
