Obituary For Emile L. Lerby

Emile L. Lerby, 94, of Bloomingdale, OH passed away on Tuesday, May 18, 2021 at his home of natural causes. He is the son of the late Emile and Ethel Treadway Lerby. He was a hard worker and was a US Army veteran of WWII. He worked in coal mines and worked his way up to master mechanic and later became a mechanical engineer. He worked for Hatcher Construction in Mingo Junction and later for Hoosier Engineering and then Emile returned to Hatcher Construction until his retirement. Emile loved to fish and cut grass riding his tractor. He liked to tease people light- heartedly and play little jokes on them. His laugh, kindness and love for his family are just some of the things that made people love him.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife Dorothy “Dot” Orisko Lerby; son Ron “Butch” Lerby; daughter Diane “Danny” Haines; an infant daughter Terri Lynn and sister Mary “Sis” Gagich.
