In his younger days he loved tipping a glass and a good brawl, something he inherited from his mother. He was very proud of his Chotaw heritage. He is survived by his mother Mary Ella Williams, brothers Samuel Louis Emery, William Clay Ayers, Sisters Judith Lynn Wooley, Susan Mary Allen, and Patricia Jean Reid, God daughter Victoria Lynn Sheehan and love of his life Linda Little Trees.
