Emmett was born on January 28, 1942, in Kingston, Ontario. In 1969, he moved out west to Calgary. In 1981 he met Jo-Ann Williams. He was the love of her life and they were married in 1988. They worked for many years in Calgary but retired in 2001 to Medicine Hat and made it their home – he truly loved living in Medicine Hat! Emmett (Larry) was a unique individual who loved a good joke. He was outgoing and with his upbeat personality, people were naturally drawn to him. He enjoyed life and all it had to offer – from raising pigeons to being a sports fanatic. He loved hockey and knew all the players on all the teams, especially his favorite team, the Chicago Blackhawks. He was often sought after for his keen intuition when it came to picking players for hockey pools.
