Deepest sympathy to all his family.
It was with great sadness I learned of Emil’s passing. We enjoyed many years of hunting together during the muzzle loader season at the “Swine Suite” at Walnut Lake. We shared many great hunts and countless good times there. Emil was a special friend to my brothers and me. My sympathies go out to his family and friends. Unfortunately I am out of state and will miss the service.

You and your Brother meant a lot to my dad as well. I recently learned from Mr. Prange and his daughters and Mr Jeff Giese that there was a book written on the experiences of the swine suite. Yaall are a big part of my Father’s life and his joy. Thank you and we love you.
May Uncle Emil rest in peace . I remember as a little girl visiting the next farm over Uncle Emil & Aunt Sharron’s house and how we would pick apples from the trees, run around the farm in bare feet and Family gatherings at the Light House with Grandpa Hueper. Those days are missed but we will remember them in our hearts forever. I keep thinking about how dad would have loved to see you all again, hear your stories of growing up and what you have become today. My Husband and I were on Hwy 22 the other day towards Minnesota Lake and I looked at him and said I’d love to go visit Uncle Emil and see Grandpa Hueper’s grave again, not knowing of the change, but I did learn something and that is to stop being in such a hurry and too busy for the important things, I missed out. We are very blessed to have had Uncle Emil in our lives.
Many fond memories of growing up and your family as well Tammy.
My sincerest condolences to all of you. Emil was such a great person. I remember fondly, our times visiting all of you at the farm while you were still in the little house. Imagine 4 parents, the three eldest of you, and our brood of 7 kids all in that tiny home, lol! How exciting it was when you were able to move to the bigger house, too. Also, I know my Dad thoroughly enjoyed having your Dad in Alaska for their fishing trips.
Since I live in CA,I will not be attending the services, but will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. May Emil rest in peace.
Many, many fond and fun memories of our families together Peggy.
I will never forget the day Uncle Emil knocked on my brother’s door in Alaska. I opened the door and yelled, “Uncle Emil!” I probably scared that man to a very real case of PTSD as he would have never expected someone he hadn’t seen in years giving him that big a bear hug!
Sincerest condolences to all of his immediate family, loved ones and friends.
I just heard of Emil’s passing my condolences to the Hueper family
