Emrick was born July 11, 1926 on the farm near Othon, Saskatchewan in the Yorkton area. He passed from this life on April 18, 2016 at the age of 89 years, at the Chateau Providence Care Home, St. Briuex, SK. He was born to Louis and Martha Latkoczky (nee Kovacs), young brother to his sister Elizabeth. After his father’s passing in 1938 they moved to the Middle Lake area. There Emrick went to a country school called Lake Ignace. A few years later they moved three miles north to a better house called the Reid House. From there Emrick went to Rhona Lake School. After completing grade eight he set out working as a farm labourer. In 1947 He saved up enough money to buy a farm between St. James and Spalding. He lived on the farm with his mother for many years, finely buying a house in Pleasantdale. Everyday Emrick would drive to his farm to do the seeding and harvesting and other farm duties as needed. He farmed until he was 79 years old, he then rented the farm to a neighbour. Emrick helped at the garage in Pleasantdale where he acquired the nickname “metric” due to working with tools. With not much to fill his days Emrick would drive to his cousins place in the Wakaw area namely Frank Kovacs to help with whatever he could do at that age. Frank introduced him to fishing which he enjoyed. In the fall of 2008 he wasn’t feeling well. He came to St. Brieux and stayed at his cousins Emric Kovacs.
