Obituary for Richard Howard "Richie" Emery Sr.
Passed away peacefully at home on Friday, May 22, 2015.
Richie was born on July 6, 1934 to the late Howard and Adele Emery.
He faithfully served in United States Army as a cook for 3 years. On May 4, 1963 Richie married his honeybee, Shirley. Together they lived in Wilmington and raised 3 children. He retired from Del Steel, after many years of dedicated service. Richie was an avid Phillies, Eagles, Steelers fan. He was a true outdoors man that greatly enjoyed fishing and crabbing.

Left to cherish Richie’s memory, are his children, Jackie Hart (Bob), Richard H. Emery, Jr. (Gwen), and John Richard Emery (Kim); his 11 grandchildren; and 2 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sisters-in-law, Betty, Harriett (Chuck), Peggy (Jerry), and Patty (Bill); his niece and caretaker, Nancy Saienni; as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
