Emerald Faulkner Sr., “Em,” 76, passed away Friday, May 7, 2021. 

He was born on Oct. 15, 1944, to Harold and Beatrice (Dilley) Faulkner. Emerald loved spending time with his family and took great pride in attending his grandchildren’s sporting events. He had some of the roughest hardworking hands but one of the biggest, softest hearts. He spent a lot of time fixing anything that broke, including bicycles, and he always believed that duct tape could fix just about anything. His stories filled family events with belly laughs and warmth. Making sure his family was his top priority was something that made him very proud. Bragging about his grandchildren and great-grandchildren was hands down one of his favorite pastimes. He will surely be missed. 

He is survived by his wife, Sandi K. Faulkner, of 56 years; three siblings, LeRoy (Barb) Faulkner, Kathy (Ron) Roth, Dean (Nina) Faulkner; his three children, Lori Dean (Jayson Reynolds), Emerald Jr. (Wendy) Faulkner and Burnie (Lenay) Faulkner; 12 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, one beautiful great-grandchild on the way, and several nieces and nephews.

Emerald was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Beatrice Faulkner; and three brothers, Lyle, Bernard and Harold, Jr. 

A Celebration of Life was held Sunday, May 16, at Old School, 545 Mill St., in Bloomington. Thornburg-Grau Funeral Home and Cremation Service of McGregor, Iowa, is assisting the family with arrangements.
