Ginnie Emon says
John,
Our deepest sympathies to you and your family in the loss of your father. I worked as a secretary for Chuck at the time that Chrysler came in and AMC was being phased out. We all enjoyed his dry sense of humor.
Your Mom and Dad were very special people. We loved the suits that Carol made for him which he proudly wore. After my retirement, we always looked forward to seeing them at the Engineering Reunions.
Sincerely,
Ginnie and Orv Emon
