Richard C. “Dickie” Emmert, 75, of 151 Sara Road, St. Marys, passed away Tuesday, June 12, 2018, at his residence, after a lengthy illness.

He was born June 9, 1943, in St. Marys, son of the late Robert and Ruth Roof Emmert. He was a lifelong resident of the area and was a graduate of St. Marys High School, Class of 1961.  Dickie was a retired employee of the Keystone Powdered Metal Company and Keystone Thermistors, with over 45 years of service.  He was also co-owner of the St. Marys Model Shop for 25 years.

On May 4, 1968, in the Sacred Heart Church, Dickie married Joan M. Pistner, who survives. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this year.

He enjoyed woodworking, metalworking, and creating with his hands and mind. He was an inventor, craftsman, and a teacher to anyone who wanted to learn.  He was always more than willing to lend a helping hand, even if it meant sacrificing his own needs.  He enjoyed going to camp, but most of all, Dickie enjoyed spending time with his wife, his boys, and his grandchildren.  He was a very gentle and patient man and was loved by all.
