Brevard County resident and longtime business owner, Charles "Tom" Emery went home to be with the Lord July 16, 2012.
The Vermont native moved to the Sunshine State in the 1960's just after graduating from high school in Waterbury, VT. Tom brought some of the cool air with him, using two thousand dollars in start-up money; he built a family owned air conditioning business that has helped keep the Space Coast cool for 36 years. He serviced everything from private homes, local businesses to the chillers on the Space Shuttle's "B" pad.
Tom loved to spend time with his family, church family, boating and at his horse farm.
He is survived by his 5 children, 9 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. He was loved by all and he will be deeply missed. Tom was 67.
Memorial Services will be held at the First Baptist Church of Merritt Island, Saturday July 21, 2012. The viewing is at 1:00pm, service at 2:00pm. Interment will follow at Florida Memorial Gardens in Rockledge.
