Later In life Emil married Annie Mueller who had two daughters, Dolores and Wanda. Emil and Annie were happily married for 28 years until her passing In March 2013.

Emil grew up farming with his parents In Jackson County on a modest farm south of Ganado, developing a love for his John Deere tractors. Emil served In the National Guard. Later, he became an electrician, retiring after a career with Brown and Root.

Through the years, Emil collected early John Deere and Farmall tractors. At one time his collection contained 19 tractors. Every chance he had, they were hauled or driven to shows, parades, and events to show them off. They were truly his pride and joy. He shared this with his son Jr., and his grandsons. Emil and Jr. collected and restored their tractors side by side. His favorite tractor was a 1939 John Deere B. For years, Emil was a member of the South Texas Wheel Spinners and Crank Twisters tractor club.

When Emil wasn't repairing or restoring his own tractors, he enjoyed going to tractor pulls and “sharing” his knowledge with everyone that he could. He also loved dirt track racing, and at times was able to cheer on his grandson, Chance. Emil loved spending time with all of his children, grandchildren, step-children and their families.
