He was born in Booneville Kentucky on June 2, 1938 to the late Wilburn and Nellie (Bailey) Tirey. He worked at Mound Laboratories in Miamisburg, Ohio for 33 years, retiring in 1996.

He later returned to work for the government as an employee for Honeywell International in Los Alamos New Mexico, commuting from Florida to Los Alamos until 2010. He returned to live in Ohio in 2017. He had many interests such as camping, boating and riding motorcycles. He loved Bluegrass music and going to Bluegrass festivals. One of his favorite pastimes was playing the guitar and bass. He especially enjoyed playing music with friends and family. He is remembered as a friendly and generous person who made friends easily and was always eager to help out when needed. He will be dearly missed by all those who knew and loved him. Eamil attended Christian Fellowship Freewill Baptist church and had accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.
