Michael George Emery ’71 was born to George and Marjorie Emery on Nov. 18, 1949, in Poughkeepsie, New York, migrating to Los Gatos in the 1957. He attended St. Mary’s School, St. Francis High School, and SCU. Michael was passionate about radio. He was an FCC-licensed engineer and in 1972 was one of the co-founders of KKUP 91.5FM community radio, which still serves the South Bay today. Michael was also an original volunteer with the Los Gatos Disaster Aid Response Team, where he spent many years supporting the community—including during the Loma Prieta earthquake. He retired from IBM after 15 years of service. Michael passed away on June 28 after a courageous battle with multiple myeloma cancer. He is survived by his loving wife, Sue; four sisters: Lisa Patten, Ellen High, Megan, and Jennifer Emery; stepsons Dwight and Michael Cornwell; and several nieces and nephews.
