He retired after 20 years as a Sergeant with the New York State Police.

Emma was named after two of her Grandmothers, Emma (Reusser) Badertscher and Lillian (Barnes) Hammon. Emma lives in a house they built across the street from the Badertscher homestead in Austerlitz. Emma and Warren raised three foster children as their own; Joe Meaney, Betty Meaney and Patty Hartl who are just as much a part of the Badertscher family as anyone born into it.
