\t\t\tClarence L. Emerich \t\t<\/p>\n
\t\t\tOBITUARY\t\t<\/p>\n
Clarence L. \u201cCal\u201d Emerich, 85, of Conway, SC, formerly of Boyertown, PA, husband of the late Jean Emerich, passed away on January 1, 2026.<\/p>\n
Born in Schuylkill Haven, PA, to the late Clarence and Mae Emerich, Cal shared a beautiful marriage of 61 years with Jean until her passing. He proudly served in the United States Navy from 1958 to 1964. Following his military service, Cal worked as a computer engineer at Western Electric, retiring after the company became Lucent Technologies.<\/p>\n
Cal was a devoted husband, father, and friend to many. He was deeply passionate about his Catholic faith, serving as a Eucharistic Minister and an extraordinary teacher of the Faith to children. He also enjoyed playing Santa Claus for Christmas activities, gardening, helping others whenever needed, and organizing large Easter egg hunts. His children fondly remember his pranks and jokes that he loved to pull on them, but most of all, they cherish his great love and devotion.<\/p>\n
Cal is survived by his four children: Deborah J. Mohler of NC; Stephen T. Emerich of Boyertown, PA; Bryan E. Emerich of Alburtis, PA; and Christine L. Emerich of Conway, SC. He also leaves behind 11 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren, as well as his sister, Emma Daniels of PA, and his brother, Guy Emerich of PA.<\/p>\n
A Mass of Christian Burial for both Jean and Cal will take place on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at the Chapel of St. George at Gethsemane Cemetery, 3139 Kutztown Rd., Reading, PA.<\/p>\n
