He suffered from typhus in 1937. When he was at the end of earthly life in the hospital, instead of desperately groaning, he preached with the last of his forces to the gathered sick people, caregivers, nurses, and others. Five days after his funeral, every morning we went to the grave, but not for a moaning. This was a good occasion for the suffering parents to preach the Word of God! The grave of Emmanuil was his father's pulpit. No. 32, 2nd September 1937 (Zornitsa) Vas. St. M.’.
