Thomas H. Emmerson

March 14, 1941 - August 8, 2014

Thomas H. Emmerson, 73, passed away August 8, 2014, at his home in Cape Coral, Florida. Tom was a man of great empathy and compassion and remained as sharp and quick witted as ever, continuing to make pants for oysters, reminiscing about Burt and Lonnie, and daring any crossword puzzle or crypto quip to cross his path. Tom etched his legacy on the hearts of those who knew him, and his humor and intellect will forever be remembered by family and friends.

Tom was born March 14, 1941 in Long Beach, California. As an infant, he moved to Canon City, Colorado and graduated from Canon City High School in 1959. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder and his law degree from the University of New Mexico. Tom practiced law and raised his family with pride and love in Kansas City before moving to Florida in 2004.

He was preceded in death by his wife and high school sweetheart, Ann MacKenzie.

Tom is survived by children Elizabeth, Marc and Robert; children-in-law Jeff Passantino and Ashley Lyerly; and five grandchildren.

Per request, a memorial service will not be held. But we will keep the beer cold, Grandpa, because we know immortality does not mean never dying.

Mullins Memorial Funeral Home & Cremation Service, Cape Coral, is entrusted with final care.
