Predeceased by his sister Diana Falk.

A renowned prosthodontist and a respected figure in the dental profession in Canada, the US and Europe, Emanuel dedicated his life to providing exemplary care to his valued patients and supporting and educating countless dentists and specialists worldwide. Known for his precision, compassion, generosity, and unwavering commitment to excellence, he was a mentor to many and a pillar of the profession.

Emanuel’s influence extended far beyond his profession. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who cherished family above all. He follows his beloved wife Ann who he has deeply missed since March 2016. He leaves behind a legacy of love and pride through his five children, fifteen grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren, all of whom will endeavour to carry forward his values, warmth, and wisdom.
