Milton Candler Emrey Sr. (Tony) passed peacefully on Thursday, April 29, 2021, at the age of 78.
He grew up in Cleveland, moved to Decatur, Ga., in his mid-teens and after attending a few colleges, voluntarily joined the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves where he became an Excellent Marksman.
Tony was an avid lover of the outdoors. He spent his free time hiking the Appalachian Trail, floated down rivers and creating his giant garden of which he shared delicious bounty with family, friends, neighbors and co-workers.
He always had a faithful Weimaraner by his side, including sharing a carriage apartment with a litter of 13 silver monsters!
