“The entire Persson family are supporters of the community and Emil is an icon. He cared about Slave Lake and he cared about the people who called Slave Lake home. He donated his time, his expertise, his equipment, his money and his heart and soul to make his community a better place to live. The only thing he loved more was his family. Emil was a good man. He will be missed. -Barb Giblin”
