Emil was born in Luxor, Egypt and was raised in Cairo. He earned his civil engineering degree from Cairo Egypt and immigrated to the U.S. via Chicago. Emil enjoyed a successful career as the structural engineer for many Houston skyscrapers, renovations for the Theodore Roosevelt Federal Building and the White House in Washington, D.C., and construction of U.S. embassies in various countries abroad.
Emil married Faten Andrawes on August 23, 1970. The couple began their marital life in Michigan, then moved to Houston, TX for eleven years and Maryland for twenty-three years, where they developed life-long friendships.

Emil successfully battled multiple myeloma for over two years. In that time he got to walk his granddaughter down the aisle, enjoy a wonderful family reunion, travel to Egypt, develop new friendships, and create new memories with his loved ones.
Emil will always be remembered for his abundance of love and kindness, and his faith in our Heavenly Father.
