Emile H. DuBois , 87, passed away peacefully on Saturday July 19, 2025 at Nazareth Hospital in Philadelphia. Born in Barre, VT, He was one of 8 children.  He joined the Air Force and was stationed at McGuire/Fort Dix during the Vietnam War. He was very proud to serve our country, and continued to be a devoted patriot and military veteran.

He was employed by Johnson & Johnson, Princeton University Plasma Physics for NASA, General Motors, and retired from Mercer County Community College as their Electrician.

He loved visiting his Vermont families, nieces and nephews, and even built a log cabin home in Vermont!

Emile also built several replicas of antique cars. His replica of Henry Ford's 1896 Quadricycle was featured at the Philadelphia Car Show! He loved going to car shows and won numerous trophies for his antique cars. He always kept active and loved to be busy, making and creating different things and always looking to help someone out with whatever he could do for them.

He had trouble sitting still and just watching TV.  He never wanted to be a "grumpy old man" so he would tell jokes wherever he went and often would tell his "Smile" poem to strangers!
