Emilio J. Troianello, age 92, a resident of Beacon Hill retirement community in Lombard, IL, died suddenly, Saturday, April 4. He was born on November 6, 1916 in Lawrence, Massachusetts.

During his long career, Mr. Troianello published many technical papers on fissionable materials and received numerous awards. These awards include commendations for his work during the Three Mile Island radiation emergency and for the development of quality control methods for ionization instrumentation. He was a member of the American Chemical Society and the Association of Analytical Communities
He spent the last years of his life living with his brother, Silvio and near his six great-nieces and nephews, whom he loved to play with, share his life experiences and watch grow. He will be greatly missed by all.
